We are a mercury-free practice. However, many people still have silver/mercury fillings in their mouths from years past. These fillings are not particularly pleasing to the eye, and we know that by unavoidable design, silver/mercury fillings ultimately result in a weaker tooth structure. Porcelain inlays and Tooth Colored Restorations (onlays) create fillings that are not only beautiful (or unnoticeable) but also add strength to weakened teeth. These restorations are aesthetically pleasing and very strong thanks to new bonding technologies.

You can have your silver fillings replaced with Tooth Colored Restorations. This process requires one appointment.

The Process:

• The old filling is removed along with any additional decay.
• We bond and fill the prepped tooth with a resin material 
• If the restoration is too large for just a filling, we will discuss and then restore with a crown

Your teeth are restored to a natural look and feel, they are stronger and the tooth is protected!
