Bonding and White Filling Treatment
Affordable Dental Care makes mercury-free tooth filling practices in Bonding and White Filling treatments. Most individuals still have silver or mercury fillings from years ago. Not only are these fillings unappealing, but they also damage the structure of teeth over time. At Affordable Dental Care, we offer Bonding and White Filling treatments to replace these outmoded fillings and avail healthier, more attractive smiles.
Bonding and White Filling procedures use composite resins matching your original tooth shade. This modern technique not only enhances the aesthetics of your teeth, but also strengthens and keeps them intact. Accessing mercury-free Bonding and White Filling treatments will help you achieve a beautiful smile while ensuring proper health care in your oral cavity.
Drawbacks of Silver Fillings
Fillings made of silver have serious drawbacks. The edges of these types of fillings tend to wear down, get weak, or, in the worst case, break as time passes. Hence it leaves the tooth unprotected and open to invasion by cavity-forming microorganisms. Furthermore, the metal that silver fillings consist of expands and contracts because of old age, causing cracks in the tooth. Silver fillings also contain 50% mercury, which has its tendency to corrode and leak stains into your teeth and gums.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Restorations
There are many benefits that a person could get from tooth-colored restorations such as Bonding and White Filling. Resin onlays, for instance, tightly bonds to teeth creating superior fit and preserving remaining tooth structures. These well performed restorations are long-lasting, aesthetic, and keep intact the inherent strength of your teeth.
In addition, the resin in Bonding and White Filling has fluoride in it, which helps prevent further decay. Unlike silver fillings, which would have required making the tooth restoration into the gums, tooth-colored restorations are healthier for your gums.
