Mercury Free & Biocompatible Fillings at Dr Daniel Tebbi DMD, Cosmetic Dentist in Encino

Thanks to advances in modern dental materials and techniques, dentists have more ways to create safe, natural-looking smiles, with mercury free and biocompatible fillings.  These white, or tooth-colored fillings, are a safer and more attractive alternative to traditional mercury amalgam fillings, and colored to match a specific natural tooth.

Biological dentists are trained in recognizing and anticipating the impact of toxic substances and how these relate to dental and physiological health.  If a patient has "silver" amalgam fillings, which are 50% mercury, it is suggested to remove them and replace with composite resin dental fillings. 

Today, modern, tooth-colored, or white fillings — made of durable resin or porcelain, can be bonded to your teeth for a stronger, more natural-looking effect.  By precisely matching tooth-colored composite fillings with the natural color of your teeth, these revolutionary fillings are virtually undetectable.

Composite resin fillings have become more popular over the years.  As the availability of white fillings has increased and the possible dangers associated with amalgam fillings have been publicized, more and more patients are having their cavities filled with beautifully white, tooth-colored fillings.
