Mercury Free Fillings in Woodbridge, NJ

When cavities develop, it is important to seek dental care for a filling. However, what’s all this talk about mercury fillings? We are faced with the issue that mercury fillings might be hazardous to our health, but neither side can agree for certain. However, we think it is best to avoid unknown toxins to be on the safe side of your oral health. At David J. D’Apolito D.M.D. we use mercury free fillings for our patients’ health.

Mercury Free Fillings

In the past, if you wanted to avoid mercury-silver fillings your only alternative would have been gold. While gold works well (and might be appealing to some), it is expensive and difficult to use. So, what options remain for better protection? Mercury free fillings.  

With mercury free fillings, you will have the option of porcelain or composite materials. The use of porcelain and composite materials help to restore the strength of the tooth. These materials also provide a more natural appearance to your tooth, so you won’t see a mouth full of silver.

Nothing is as naturally beautiful as healthy teeth, but with the availability of mercury free fillings in porcelain or composite, we can come amazingly close! Contact us about mercury free fillings in Woodbridge and how we can help restore the strength of your teeth when cavities happen.
