Natural and Cosmetic Dentistry is a mercury-free office!
A healthy mouth is free of dental materials that are toxic. Silver mercury fillings are colored amalgam fillings made from an “amalgamation” of metals such as: tin, copper, silver and of course mercury.
Mercury is the primary metal used to make “silver” fillings. In fact, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (of which our doctors are members) estimates that amalgam contains 43 to 54 percent of mercury.
