Amalgam & Silver Filling Removal

Before and After Composite Fillings

Metal-Free, Tooth-Colored Fillings in Chula Vista, CA

Fix cavities or replace old mercury amalgams with tooth-colored fillings.

Chewing puts incredible stresses on teeth. That’s why, in the past, filling cavities and restoring damaged teeth usually involved metals such as gold, silver, or an amalgam. (A mixture of metals, including mercury.)

Today, you have a choice of metal-free restoration options. Tooth-colored fillings are made of a composite-resin mixture that provides strength as well as a natural appearance. We can now use these composites virtually everywhere, from repairing a minor defect to restoring a decayed tooth.

Do you have metal/mercury amalgam fillings? If so, one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your appearance is to replace them with these new, tooth-colored alternatives. The aesthetic results are beyond compare: your teeth will look as fresh, white, and natural as when they first grew in.

Our team is fully equipped for the safe removal of mercury fillings. We take the necessary precautions to limit patient exposure to a potentially harmful residue. All mercury is handled in accordance with best practices for hazardous waste disposal.

We are happy to discuss options for repairing your teeth, contact us today at 619-216-2807!
