Medford Mercury Filling Removal

Healthier teeth for a healthier life

Why remove mercury fillings?

Silver amalgam fillings, also known as mercury fillings, were once a common dental material. However, these fillings contain mercury, a metal that can pose health risks over time. Replacing them with tooth-colored, mercury-free fillings improves both your health and the appearance of your smile. Dr. Catt in Medford prioritizes your safety by using the latest techniques to safely remove mercury fillings and restore your teeth with biocompatible, natural-looking materials.

Risks of mercury fillings

  • Mercury exposure may affect overall health.
  • Cracks in amalgam fillings can allow bacteria to seep in, causing decay.
  • Mercury fillings can expand and contract, leading to tooth fractures.
  • Unsightly silver fillings can dull your smile.
