Update Your Smile with All-White Dental Fillings
Do you have dark patches in your smile from dental fillings you had placed when you were younger? If so, you may be embarrassed to smile wide for fear of showing your restorations, or you may not be aware that your once-stable fillings could be causing harm to your body. Read on to find out more about how to update your outdated dental work from Arizona dentist Dr. Mark Arooni.
An Outdated Dental Fix
Once upon a time, dark, heavy metal dental fillings were the only option when it came to filling cavities and restoring other dental disasters. These fillings were made of amalgam, a mixture of tin, copper, silver, aluminum, and mercury.
In recent years, the safety and stability of amalgam fillings has become a hot topic of debate in the medical and scientific fields. Why? Because mercury is bad news for the human body.
Over time and as a result of everyday wear and tear, amalgam fillings have been known to break down and begin leaking, which puts these potentially harmful materials right into your bloodstream. Because of this, dark amalgam fillings are no longer a safe, stable, and attractive way to restore your smile.
An Attractive, Stable, and Safe Alternative
Dr. Arooni restores his patients’ cavities with a better option: all-white dental fillings. These restorations, made of a bio-compatible, safe, durable, and tooth-colored substance called composite resin, not only blend in with your existing teeth, but also provide a long-lasting safe and strong restorative option.
In addition to being a premier restorative material for cavities, composite resin is commonly used to strengthen a tooth following a root canal, as well as during cosmetic dental bonding to correct minor flaws in a smile, including chips, gaps, and permanent dental stains.
Dr. Arooni not only fills new cavities with composite dental resin, but he also replaces failing amalgam fillings with this updated dental option. If you’re ready to say goodbye to your outdated dental work, call Lakeview Dental, located in Chandler Arizona, at (480) 855-1200.
