We take pride in “restoring” teeth as close to their original strength and appearance with composite resins and ceramics.
Modern dentistry has allowed us the pleasure of combining beauty as well as strength when filling teeth. We take pride in “restoring” teeth as close to their original strength and appearance with composite resins and ceramics. Since patient comfort is top priority, our clinical staff and doctors go the extra mile to make a trip to the dentist a whole new positive experience. We offer Nitrous oxide, movies, music but most importantly good old TLC.
Mercury Removal Precautions
The silver fillings in your teeth are actually a 50/50 mixture of silver particles and mercury, with trace amounts of other metals. Mercury is a potent poison that can cause severe and debilitating neurological disorders. It is accepted in the medical community that the mercury in existing fillings is not harmful because it chemically locked to the silver particles. Removing these fillings releases the mercury which can then be swallowed or inhaled by the patient if proper precautions are not taken. In our office, all silver filling removal is done under a rubber dam with high volume suction to eliminate the risk of mercury poisoning to the patient.
