Metal-Free, Mercury Free Restorations – Las Vegas, NV
Safer, More Attractive Restorations
Amalgam fillings contain combination of silver shavings, zinc, copper, tin, and mercury as a low-cost alternative to gold restorations. While mercury is clearly dangerous, amalgams became the standard as dentistry grew more available to the general population. Traditional crowns also require metal framework to give them strength. But over time, gums shrink exposing the frame, causing a grey ring at the gum line. Metal restorations also look unnatural and can detract from the beauty of your all-white smile.
