For years, the silver-mercury amalgam was the standard filling material used in dental practices, and many practices still use it.
While they are a reasonable restoration, amalgams have certain shortcomings.
Metal does not bond well to teeth so decay can and does eventually leak into the tooth.
Also if there is decay present underneath a metal filling it's very hard for the dentist to see it as the metal blocks the x-ray.
The biggest reason many of Dr. Adler's patients are choosing the white bonded fillings has to do with the way they look. Many people just don't want an ugly black plug in their teeth.
Adler Dentistry is pleased to offer you modern, state-of-the-art restorations that are a natural looking white, contain no metals and can actually strengthen your teeth. They also bond very tightly with the healthy part of the tooth, reducing any chance of hidden decay build up in the future.
