Make An appointmentWhite Fillings & Composite Bonding

bondingsDental bonding is a technique that has been used in dentistry for countless years. Dental composite bonding is a sought after choice for fillings because they can match the shade and translucency of teeth and gives you a much better result than old silver fillings(hg). Bonding wont be suitable if you have larger cavities in your teeth as the material doesn't have a very strong structure over larger sized areas. Bonding is perfect for small or medium sized fillings that are not exposed to great forces.
The largest disadvantages of bondings are that they do not have the strength of other materials used in restoration such as ceramic or porcelain and they have a greater tendency to stain than your natural tooth or porcelain.

Bonding is used for a variety of cosmetic dental procedures including;

Bonding and White FillingsFilling dental cavities-"White fillings"
Replacing metal or amalgam fillings.
Repairing broken or chipped teeth.
Closing gaps between teeth.
Reshaping teeth.
Composite veneers (although porcelain veneers are a better long term option) 

 

Amalgam Removal

amalgam removalWe are often asked by our patients if they should have their old amalgam or silver fillings removed. This is a personal choice for you smile. When asked if there is any positive to removing the old amalgam fillings we have found that certain dental policies are the best places to look for advice.

On Amalgam Removal, the ADA policy remains, on the basis of the research available, that the use of dental amalgam produces no harmful effects. The World Health Organization and the International Dental Federation have released a joint statement confirming the safety of dental amalgam as a filling material. The ADA believes there is no positive gain in having dental amalgam fillings replaced with other materials, other than for aesthetic reasons.

We are happy to remove your old silver fillings for patients that request this for whatever reason but will not suggest or imply that this will cure any other health problems. Again the removal of amalgam fillings is a free choice that is up to the patient for cosmetic results. The single best benefit, besides a whiter smile, is a new, upgraded, filling in place of an old one.
