Tooth-Colored Fillings

For many years, dentists have used silver mercury amalgam fillings for cavities. The use of this amalgam has been debated for years. Many doctors claim that silver mercury amalgam causes health problems. Some studies have linked amalgam fillings to chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, asthma, depression, mood swings, and other disorders. In fact, several countries prohibit dentists from using silver mercury amalgam fillings.

At Spiker Dental, we use only white porcelain ceramic fillings, commonly called composites or porcelain onlays.

Not only do we not use silver mercury amalgam in any of our procedures; but patients routinely come to us asking that their current amalgam fillings be replaced with porcelain.

Replacing silver fillings with porcelain is a quick and easy process.
