Typically, amalgam fillings contain mercury and are considered traditional mercury-based fillings. During previous decades, these restorations were popular and the standard of care. However, modern patients prefer a mercury-free filling material or restoration, such as composite.
Our composite resin fillings are mercury-free, biocompatible, and offer benefits including:
- Better aesthetics because they match your teeth
- Less tooth removal because it is applied in layers
- A restoration free from mercury
- A filling that does not shrink or expand on the tooth
Whenever possible, we choose biocompatible materials to restore your smile, and we always use mercury-free fillings in Prahran.
Keeping Your Smile Healthy Between Checks and Cleans
The only thing better than a beautiful, discreet filling is no cavities at all!
We recommend booking regular checks and cleans with our dental team. Also, remember to brush and floss your teeth at least twice daily—after every meal is even better. When you brush and floss, take the time to clean every tooth.
If you notice tooth sensitivity or other changes to your oral health between checks and cleans, we encourage you to call our dental clinic as soon as possible.
