Why We Stopped Using
The Modern Replacement for Silver Amalgam

Why We Stopped Using Old-School Silver Fillings

Silver (amalgam) fillings expand and contract with temperature, slowly cracking the tooth around them. They also contain mercury and are visible whenever you laugh or yawn.

Composite resin fillings bond chemically to your tooth, expand at the same rate as enamel, and match your tooth colour perfectly. They're the safer, better-looking choice in every way.

  • Mercury-free & BPA-free composite
  • Bonds directly to tooth structure
  • Same colour, translucency as enamel
  • Less drilling — preserves more tooth
Why It Matters

The Real Benefits Patients Notice

Mercury-Free

Our composite contains zero mercury — safer for you and the environment.

Invisible Repair

Hand-shaded to your exact tooth colour — even your mirror won't spot it.

Preserves More Tooth

Composite bonds to enamel, so less healthy tooth needs to be removed.

Same-Day Treatment

Most fillings are completed in one 45–60 minute visit.

You Likely Need a Filling If
Is This Right For You?

You Likely Need a Filling If You Have Decay or Old Silver Fillings

Cavities don't heal on their own. Whether it's a new spot or replacing an aging silver filling, composite is the modern standard.

  • Sharp pain when biting down
  • Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods
  • Visible dark spot or hole in a tooth
  • Old silver filling that's cracking
  • Food consistently getting stuck
  • X-ray flagged a cavity at last cleaning
Frequently Asked

Common Questions About Tooth-Colored Fillings

Only if they're failing — cracked, leaking, or causing sensitivity. We don't recommend replacing healthy silver fillings just for aesthetics, but we're happy to discuss your options.

No. We numb thoroughly and check before starting. Most patients say they barely felt anything.

10–15 years for most patients, sometimes longer. Silver fillings last slightly longer (15–25 years) but the trade-offs aren't worth it for most.

Yes — fillings are typically covered at 80% after deductible. We bill directly and quote any difference up-front.

Very early decay (only in the enamel) can sometimes be remineralized with fluoride. Once decay reaches the dentin, a filling is required.
