Amalgam Fillings Replacement Merced, CA

Amalgam fillings were once a common solution for treating cavities, but advancements in dental technology now offer more aesthetically pleasing and healthier alternatives. Replacing amalgam fillings with tooth-colored composite fillings can improve the appearance of your smile while maintaining its strength and functionality. Dr. Jasvinder Badwalz, Dr. Gagan Bhullar and Dr. Rajdeep Singh Badwalz, our experienced dentists, offer amalgam filling replacement services to help you achieve a natural-looking and confident smile.

Why Replace Amalgam Fillings?

Amalgam fillings, often made of a mixture of metals including mercury, can darken over time and affect the appearance of your teeth. Many patients choose to replace these fillings for the following reasons:

  • Aesthetic Improvement: Composite fillings match the color of your natural teeth, enhancing your smile.
  • Concerns About Mercury: Some patients prefer mercury-free alternatives for peace of mind.
  • Improved Fit: Composite materials bond directly to the tooth, creating a tighter seal and reducing the risk of decay around the filling.
  • Modern Materials: Newer materials are more durable and less prone to expansion or contraction, which can help protect your teeth.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Replacing amalgam fillings with composite alternatives offers several advantages:

  • Natural Appearance: Composite fillings are custom-colored to blend seamlessly with your teeth.
  • Durability: Modern composite materials are strong enough to handle daily wear and tear.
  • Preservation of Tooth Structure: Composite fillings require less removal of natural tooth material.
  • Mercury-Free: Composite fillings are made without mercury, offering a safer and more environmentally friendly choice.
