Safe and Effective Fillings at Masri Dental
At Masri Dental, Dr. Ahmad Almasri uses only mercury-free composite fillings to ensure your health and safety. These advanced fillings not only protect your teeth but also match your natural tooth color for a discreet and seamless appearance.
Composite fillings offer several advantages over traditional amalgam fillings:
- Safer Material: Free from mercury, reducing potential health risks.
- Natural Appearance: Matches the shade of your teeth for a flawless look.
- Minimally Invasive: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure.
- Durability: Strong enough for both front and back teeth, withstanding daily wear.
Should You Replace Amalgam Fillings?
While replacing amalgam fillings early isn’t necessary, it’s recommended to switch to composite fillings when replacements are needed—typically after 10-15 years. Over time, amalgam fillings can wear out, crack, or leak, making replacement essential to prevent further tooth damage.
What Are Composite Fillings Made Of?
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored mixture of ceramic and non-BPA acrylic materials. This advanced material creates a secure bond with your tooth, restoring its strength and function while maintaining a natural appearance.
