In today’s health-conscious era, awareness about oral well-being and its impact on overall health is on the rise. In the past, metal amalgam (containing mercury) was the primary choice for dental fillings to address decay and cavities. However, concerns surrounding mercury content have sparked debates about potential risks associated with such fillings.
As opinions vary, many individuals now opt for tooth-coloured dental fillings as an alternative. Among these, porcelain dental fillings stand out for their unique qualities.
Porcelain Dental Fillings: Embracing Innovation
Dental porcelain closely resembles natural tooth enamel. This translucent material expertly absorbs and reflects light, mirroring the radiance of a natural, pearly-white shine. In specific cases, porcelain inlays or onlays offer superior attributes compared to traditional fillings.
In the realm of advanced dental technology, alternatives to amalgam are abundant. Direct composite (tooth-coloured) fillings and indirect porcelain fillings (Inlays/Onlays) present innovative solutions.
At Adore Dental, we champion your right to choose the filling material that aligns with your preferences. Our team dedicates time to elaborate on the merits and drawbacks of each option, ensuring your peace of mind throughout the dental fillings procedure. Committed to the well-being of our patients, we proudly uphold a mercury-free dental practice.
