Replace Old Amalgam (Mercury-Silver) Fillings with Mercury-Free, Non-Toxic Tooth-Colored Fillings

By Dr. Vladimir Gashinsky - Millburn New Jersey Dentist

Do you have decay, cracks or fractures in your teeth?

Mercury-Free Tooth-Colored Fillings can be used to restore your damaged teeth, and are non-toxic and safe.

Our office is mercury free; we do not use any amalgam filling material. Instead, we offer safe tooth-colored porcelain (composite) fillings, which are as strong as amalgam (mercury/silver) fillings, and can be matched to the exact shade of your natural teeth. If you're concerned by recent studies of amalgam safety, please talk to Dr. G about having those fillings removed. A biocompatibility test may be run to determine the best material to use for your restorations.

How Fillings Work:

Dental patients need to know the difference between a mercury free and mercury safe dentist. In 2008, for the first time over 50% of general dentists no longer use amalgam, primarily because it simply isn't a good filling when compared to the newer composites. Because they no longer use mercury amalgam fillings, these dentists are now promoting their practices as being mercury free. However, that doesn't mean that they believe mecury fillings are a health hazard, or will use established and safe removal protocols to protect you from excessive exposure to mercury during their removal. Bottom line - you can't assume that a dentist who advertises his or her practice as being mercury free, is also mercury safe! You must take the responsibility to ask if they are also mercury safe.

Porcelain tooth-colored fillings are usually placed in one appointment.
