Dental Composite Fillings

Mercury Free Dentistry

Smiling Faces Dental, led by Dr. Poli and Dr. Burton is a proponent of composite material fillings and offers this option for patients needing dental filling treatment.

Our primary concern is our patients’ health. We believe the use of amalgam (silver) fillings, with Mercury as part of their material makeup, carries too much risk and poses a threat to good dental health. We believe our choice to offer composite material fillings is the responsible choice, the choice that protects you.

Dental Composite fillings offer a beautiful filling alternative to amalgam (silver) fillings. Their composite resin material is able to be perfectly color matched to your natural teeth color, allowing for seamless decay repairs. Extremely durable and proven safe, tooth composite fillings are a treatment choice that promotes good dental health and while offering full decay protection and tooth functionality.

The potential toxicity of amalgam fillings may prompt your caring dentist to recommend replacing your amalgam fillings with composite fillings, especially if they appear to be severely worn, loose, or damaged.

Amalgam fillings in the lower jaw can often be seen when we talk or laugh. But amalgam fillings can also sometimes be seen in the upper jaw. These can be unsightly and can also discolor the tooth. Composite tooth fillings are available to improve this at Smiling Faces Dental in Parlin NJ.
