Mercury Free Fillings
Tooth Colored Fillings
If you're embarrassed about your smile because of decayed or discolored teeth, you may be a good candidate for composite fillings. Dr. Pasut prefers using white and Mercury free tooth colored restorations because they are durable and appear more natural. Amalgam (mercury, silver) fillings absorb moisture and expand and contract with heat and cold. As the filling ages it can fracture your tooth, which may then require a crown. Composite fillings offer a non-invasive way to improve your smile.
Tooth colored fillings can be made of porcelain or composite resin, which bonded directly to the teeth, restoring it to near its original strength and function. Both can be custom-colored to precisely match your teeth, so when porcelain or resin fillings are in place, they are extremely natural in appearance.
