Silver or amalgam fillings are half mercury fillings that continually leak mercury into your body. Mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element, period. It serves NO good function. It always poisons. We know that mercury causes significant health problems. Mercury fillings expand with hot foods and with age; teeth don’t. As ice breaks boulders, most broken teeth are caused by mercury fillings.
That’s why we remove mercury fillings as safely with research based care and science, and replace them with resin or porcelain materials. It’s our practice, our art and privilege to use safe, attractive materials that function as long or longer than mercury fillings. Our fillings make teeth stronger not weaker, they function well and look great for a very long time.
