Important Information For Our Patients
Announcements
We are making a change in the type of restorations we currently offer. As a result we are no longer placing any amalgam based restorations (silver fillings). I know many of you have expressed a concern regarding the mercury content of these restorations. Amalgam restorations have been safely used for over 150 years but health care and dentistry evolves, better materials are developed and changes are made. While the ADA, CDC, and FDA state these restorations are safe they have released new guidelines. Amalgam restorations are not recommended for use in pregnant women or young children. This is a change from previous guidelines. With the advent of newer and better composites and ceramic based restorations we can offer restorations tath are superior to amalgam and have no restrictions in use. As a result this office is now placing only mercury free restorations.
