Tooth-colored composite fillings.  Teeth with cavities can now be restored cosmetically with tooth-colored fillings.  These fillings blend beautifully with the surrounding teeth, and do not have the health hazards associated with traditional mercury amalgam metal fillings. This the newest generation of color matching composite fillings are especially so important when doing or replacing old filling in your front teeth.

If you have a toothache or other problem with your teeth, it is best to get it taken care of immediately, before the problem can worsen. To restore unhealthy teeth, our team at  American  Dental Studios offer a full range of restorative dentistry treatments. Restorative dentistry addresses numerous dental issues.

We specialize in the replacement your old metal fillings; “ the traditional mercury amalgam metal fillings”, which obviously contain mercury with the latest generation of color matching light composite fillings. When you smile you will even have trouble remembering where your old metal amalgam fillings were after were place them using the latest generation of color matching  composite filling materials.

In the past when you walk out of your dentist's office after having a cavity filled, chances are you're carrying around a small amount of mercury in your mouth. Mercury is what gives those fillings that silver tint, and makes it easier for the dentist to fill every little nook and cranny. Not every dentist will tell you about the mercury they put in your mouth, or about an ongoing debate among dentists, patients, and the American Dental Association about the possible health hazards of mercury amalgam fillings. almost all of us are exposed to toxic mercury vapors in a very common way from our old mercury amalgam metal fillings.

After I have removed old  mercury amalgam fillings; I very often could clearly see they were all just porous like sandstone, where the mercury had leached out of them. I like a growing number of dentist remove these old mercury amalgam fillings for health reasons.

I seen many many patients  who think the mercury in their teeth is making them sick. And research suggests this idea isn't so far-fetched. Dentists once believed that if they filled a tooth with amalgam, the mercury in the amalgam would harden and become inert. Now they know that's not true. Mercury vapor is released from the amalgam. The amount of mercury vapor released is our major source of exposure to mercury vapor in the general population.

As Tom Clarkson  a scientist in the Department of Environmental Medicine at the University of Rochester in New York said, “What we're concerned about is the vapor that comes off the amalgam as you are chewing, as you breathe through your mouth, and that's absorbed into the lung. And from there it gets into the rest of the body.”  He's been studying the health effects of mercury for more than 40 years.
