Replace Silver-Mercury Fillings With White Tooth
Fillings At Gary B Wiele DDS
Many
people in the St. Louis area have had silver-mercury fillings placed
into their teeth because they had “cavities.” These silver-mercury
fillings are called amalgams. Amalgam fills the space where the decay
in the tooth has been removed.However, over time, the amalgam corrodes, which blackens the silver. The corrosion creates leakage channels which can allow bacteria to work underneath the filling and decay the tooth again. This is easily seen as soon as the patient opens his or her mouth, causing unwanted embarrassment for the patient; not to mention the possibility of recurrent decay.
At Gary B Wiele DDS we can provide you with composite fillings that are made of a plastic-porcelain like material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal. They are stronger and stain resistant, and are color-matched to the natural tooth, making them “invisible.”
Composite fillings do not have the sensitivity to cold that is often associated with silver-mercury amalgam fillings, because they act as insulators instead of conducting the cold to the center of the tooth.
In fact, they work so well that Dr. Wiele has not placed a silver-mercury amalgam filling in over ten(10) years.
