Mercury-Free Dental Fillings in Jenkintown, PA

What Are Mercury-Free Dental Fillings?

Mercury-free fillings are made from composite resin, a durable, tooth-colored material that bonds directly to your natural enamel. Unlike silver amalgam, composite fillings do not contain mercury—a material that, while historically common in dentistry, has raised concerns due to its potential health risks.

Benefits of composite, mercury-free fillings include:

• No exposure to mercury or metal alloys
  
• A natural, tooth-colored appearance
  
• Strong adhesion that supports tooth structure
  
• Minimal removal of healthy enamel during placement
  
• Long-lasting results when properly cared for
  

If you have older metal fillings you'd like replaced, our team can remove and restore them using safe, minimally invasive techniques.

Replacing Old Metal Fillings

Many patients come to us hoping to replace older silver fillings that have worn down, caused staining, or no longer align with their health values. Our dentists will evaluate the condition of your existing restorations and recommend a safe replacement plan.

During the process, we use high-suction isolation and strict safety protocols to remove amalgam material while minimizing your exposure. Once the tooth is prepped, a custom-shaded composite filling is placed, shaped, and polished for a seamless look and feel.

• Are concerned about long-term exposure to mercury
  
• Have experienced sensitivity or cosmetic issues with silver fillings
