Are you wondering if it’s time to replace your silver fillings? At The Dental Boutique, we understand that dental health is crucial for your overall well-being.
While silver fillings have been a reliable solution for cavities caused by decay or for repairing damaged teeth, modern dentistry offers even better options that can enhance both your health and your smile.
Why Replace Your Silver Fillings?
Silver fillings or amalgam fillings, have long been used to fill cavities. However, they come with concerns regarding their impact on tooth health. Over time, silver fillings can become rough, allowing harmful bacteria to thrive, which may lead to further tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, studies suggest that silver fillings can weaken teeth, potentially increasing the risk of damage.
Benefits of Replacing Silver Fillings
Switching from silver to tooth-coloured fillings provides numerous benefits:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Tooth-coloured fillings match the natural colour of your teeth, giving you a beautiful, seamless smile.
- Improved Health: Modern materials are designed to reduce the risk of bacteria buildup and decay, promoting better oral health.
- Long-lasting Durability: With proper care, tooth-coloured restorations can be as durable and long-lasting as traditional silver fillings.
