Replace Silver Mercury Fillings

Tooth-colored "resin" fillings

For over 100 years, dentists have been using silver-mercury amalgam fillings to restore decayed or broken teeth. 

Now, at Dr. Neufeld’s Dental Health Center, there is a new and healthier way to restore teeth using tooth-colored resin fillings.  The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.  Dr. Neufeld bonds the putty-like material to the tooth with a high-intensity light.  This hardens the material and allows it to be shaped and polished for immediate use.

Once completed by Dr. Neufeld, your tooth has a natural appearance and is actually stronger than before due to the strength of the adhesive agent used to bond the resin to the tooth.  Resin restorations not only look better, but they are stronger and healthier than the old silver-amalgam fillings. 

Please call us at Dr. Neufeld’s Dental Health Center with any questions you may have about the benefits of resin restorations.
