No Mercury! No Metals! No Kidding!
For years, this silver-mercury amalgam was the standard filling material used in dental practices, and many practices still use it today, including Champlain Smiles. While they are a reasonable restoration, amalgams have certain shortcomings.
- Metal does not bond well to teeth, so decay can and does eventually leak into the tooth.
- Many people just don’t want an ugly black plug in their teeth. We offer modern, state-of-the-art restorations that are a natural-looking white (matched to the color of your teeth), contain no metals, and can actually strengthen your teeth.
- They also bond very tightly with the healthy part of your tooth so there is much less chance of decay in the future.
Champlain Smiles will replace all of your existing metal fillings, and give you new ones, using the latest white (tooth colored) filling technology.
