There is a growing concern about the safety of mercury (silver/black) fillings also called amalgam. With today’s technology, white fillings are replacing amalgam fillings. White filling can easily endure the stress required to serve as a filling in a back tooth. However, they are not as strong as amalgam fillings in the long term
Here at Half Moon Dental, we are able to remove the amalgam from your teeth in a safe and controlled environment and replace it with composite resin. The tooth looks more natural and beautiful after removing the amalgam and replacing it with a white filling. Besides looking better, this tooth is now more resistant to fracture.
