Mercury Free Dentistry

For the past 25 years our office has been completely mercury-free. When replacing missing tooth structure there are many alternatives to the traditional silver/mercury filling. Our particular favourite type of filling for replacing large areas of missing tooth structure is the lab processed white filling (inlay/onlay).

The lab processed filling has a micro fibre reinforcement and on the second appointment it is then bonded and cemented to the tooth to restore the tooth to its original shape and strength. It has equal wear to enamel and these teeth look beautiful.
