Tooth-Colored Fillings

Besides the obvious esthetic differences, traditional silver mercury (dental amalgam) fillings cause a host of non-cosmetic issues. Over time, daily pressure and temperature changes can cause silver fillings to crack and leak, allowing bacteria to get into your tooth. The mercury in silver fillings can also leak into the surrounding tissues, causing stains on the teeth and the gums.

All of these problems can be prevented with the use of durable tooth-colored fillings. Silicon Valley Smile Solutions provides mercury-free dentistry for Saratoga, Campbell, Los Gatos, and San Jose-area patients, as Dr. HagShenas does not advocate the placement of traditional silver fillings.

If you already have traditional silver fillings, Dr. HagShenas can safely replace them with tooth-colored restorations.
