Why does Dr. Cris use white, mercury free fillings?
For many years, amalgam fillings were one of the best methods that dentists could use to restore teeth. Unfortunately, these fillings have been known to break down and leak mercury over time. At our practice, Dr. Cris uses only composite resin to fill cavities. Durable and long-lasting, this material bonds directly to the surface of your teeth. Composite fillings match the appearance of your natural teeth, so no one will be able to tell that you have them. Composite fillings also don’t discolor as metal fillings do and are completely safe. If you have older fillings and are concerned, schedule a consultation with Dr. Cris. After she examines your mouth, she can discuss the risks of silver fillings with you and suggest further treatments to protect your health.
