East Cobb Mercury-Free Dentist

If you are aware of the relationship between your oral health and overall health, you likely prefer mercury-free dentistry. At Cheek Dental, we understand your concerns and provide composite fillings that are healthy for your teeth and look natural.

Why the Concern?

Amalgam (“silver”) fillings contain about 50% mercury—more mercury than silver or other elements. According to the American Dental Association, amalgam fillings are safe. Yet, some studies reveal that chewing releases small amounts of mercury vapor from amalgam fillings. Many people are concerned about how the vapor release will affect their health, so they want mercury-free alternatives.

Why Our Dentists Prefer Mercury-Free Fillings

All of our dentists prefer mercury-free composite fillings for several reasons:

  • Composite bonds to your teeth and strengthens them. Amalgam fillings corrode as they age, separate from teeth, and leave them weak and prone to decay.
  • When a tooth is prepared for a composite filling, less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed.
  • Composite insulates teeth and makes them less sensitive to heat and hold.
  • They look better because they are metal free. A shade is chosen to closely match the color of your natural teeth.

The upper photo shows three lower amalgam-filled teeth and the lower photo shows teeth filled with composite.The before-and-after pictures on this page show old amalgam fillings that corroded, separated from the teeth, and left gaps for bacteria to leak in and cause decay. The old fillings were replaced with composite to protect and strengthen the teeth and lock out bacteria. They look natural, too.

Healthy Long-Lasting Fillings

It takes more time and advanced technique to place composite fillings. Dr. Cheek and Dr. Chandler are cosmetic dentists who have the training and experience required to provide you with healthy natural-looking fillings that last. They take the following steps:

  • Provide sanitary amalgam removal for fillings you want replaced with composite
  • Use high-quality composite materials
  • Carefully prepare, bond, and seal fillings to ensure proper function and beauty
  • Ensure fillings are correctly positioned so you can bite with comfort and ease
