A Holistic Approach to Improving Your Quality of Life
If you have silver-colored amalgam fillings, you might not think much about them. After all, they’ve done their job for years—right? However, advancements in dentistry and a greater focus on overall health have made it clear that replacing old amalgam fillings with modern white fillings can provide significant benefits for your health, smile, and overall quality of life. At Deldar Dental in Noblesville, Dr. Mike Deldar takes a holistic approach to dentistry and offers the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) to ensure the safe and effective removal of amalgam fillings.
Let’s explore why replacing your old fillings matters and how it can improve your health and confidence.
What Are Amalgam Fillings?
Amalgam fillings, often referred to as “silver fillings,” have been used for over a century. They’re made of a combination of metals, including mercury, silver, tin, and copper. While they’ve been widely used because of their durability, concerns about mercury’s potential impact on overall health have led many patients to seek alternatives.
White fillings, also known as composite or tooth-colored fillings, are made of durable, mercury-free materials. These fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and offer a safe, holistic alternative to traditional amalgam.
The Health Benefits of Removing Amalgam Fillings
Concerns About Mercury
Amalgam fillings contain mercury, a known toxin that can release small amounts of vapor, especially during chewing or grinding. For individuals who are sensitive to mercury, these vapors may pose a health concern.
Dr. Mike Deldar uses the SMART protocol to ensure mercury is removed safely and responsibly. Certified by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), the SMART technique minimizes mercury exposure to both the patient and dental team. With proper precautions, the procedure is safe and stress-free.
A Healthier, Holistic Choice
Replacing amalgam fillings with white, composite fillings eliminates exposure to mercury entirely. For patients focused on improving their overall wellness, removing these outdated materials aligns perfectly with a holistic lifestyle.
The Aesthetic Advantage: A More Natural Smile
Amalgam fillings are noticeable, often darkening over time and leaving your smile less vibrant. White fillings are a game-changer when it comes to aesthetics:
Natural Appearance:
Composite fillings are matched to the color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible.
1. Confidence Boost:
No more worrying about silver fillings showing when you talk, smile, or laugh.
2. No Discoloration:
Unlike amalgam, white fillings do not stain or darken over time. Replacing old fillings improves not just your oral health but also how you feel about your smile—an essential part of your overall well-being.
3. Improved Strength and Durability
White fillings are made of strong, resin-based materials that bond directly to your tooth. This bonding process offers several benefits:
4. Preserves More of Your Tooth:
Unlike amalgam fillings, which require removing more of the natural tooth, white fillings allow for a more conservative restoration.
5. Strengthens the Tooth:
The bonding process reinforces the tooth structure, reducing the risk of cracks or fractures over time.
6.Long-lasting Results:
Modern composite materials are highly durable, ensuring your fillings last for many years with proper care.
