Why Remove Silver Fillings

Silver fillings, or amalgam fillings, contain a mixture of metals. Not only are they unnatural looking, they contain a dangerous metal: mercury. Research ties mercury to an increase risk of dementia, birth defects, Alzheimer's and more.

Why are silver fillings still used by other dentists? It's simply cheaper. And most insurance companies will cover silver (amalgam) fillings.

Winterholler Dentistry does not use silver, or amalgam, fillings. Drs. Chris and Patrice recommend a safe removal of all your mercury fillings.

We have used only the highest quality tooth-colored filling material since our practice opened in 1998.

We can replace any silver fillings with a more natural-looking filling that matches your teeth -- often with just one office visit.

Using our CEREC equipment, we use a ceramic filling that:
  • is more pliable and won't leak or cause more tooth decay
  • bonds to your tooth to restore its strength & structure
  • looks more like your natural teeth, using tooth-colored ceramic
  • is metal-free, toxin-free
  • avoids the use of gooey impressions
  • requires only one appointment, saving you time and money
You won't have to worry about leaking silver fillings ever again, protecting your teeth and your long-term health. LIVE HEALTHY, MERCURY FREE! Call us today for safe fillings at (800) 750-6054.
