Silver or Invisible Fillings?

With today’s technology, there are better ways for dentists to repair teeth. Now, there is no reason for you to endure silver fillings. In fact, recently concerns have arisen as to the safety of silver, otherwise known as amalgam, fillings.

Because amalgam fillings contain mercury, there are health concerns about illness, birth defects and mental disorders. However, it is unclear if and how much mercury gets into the body from silver fillings.

Amalgam fillings also cause teeth to crack which leads to root canals and tooth restorations. Oyster Point Dentistry offers “Invisible fillings". This is the latest technology in cavity repair and they allow you to completely mask dental fillings.

Invisible fillings blend with your teeth, and seal them against further decay. They also provide a superbly aesthetic effect, and seal the gap between the filling and your tooth better than the traditional silver fillings. Silver fillings can also be replaced with invisible fillings, also called ceramic composite fillings.

Invisible fillings allow your smile to be beautiful, no one needs to know you ever had a cavity. For more information, contact Oyster Point Dentistry.
