Composite Dental Fillings, Ahmedabad
The Clear Alternative to Traditional Mercury Fillings
Nearly everyone gets cavities and will eventually need a filling, no matter how well they brush and floss. Genetics, diet, environment, and other risk factors all contribute to tooth decay– which over 95% of Indians will experience at some point in their life. If you’re looking for a fix for cavities, consider a composite filling at Akshar dental care.
At Akshar Dental, our philosophy focuses on reducing the damage done by tooth decay through early detection, and quick follow-up with a safe, minimally invasive tooth-colored composite filling. Minimally invasive techniques save more tooth structure than traditional fillings.
Do You Need a Composite Filling?
At Akshar Dental in Ahmedabad, our approach to composite fillings is simple. We use the latest digital x-ray and laser diagnostic technologies, as well as years of experience to help you understand the health of your teeth. We’ll talk with you about:
- The tooth decay on any portion of your teeth
- The state of your current old-fashioned, mercury (silver) fillings
- Risk factors that predispose you to tooth decay
- And your desire to maintain a natural, white, and healthy smile for a lifetime
You’ll learn more about the advantages of composite fillings, as well as our process for removing decay, improving the health of your teeth and restoring your smile. Additionally, we may recommend alternative treatments like crowns, inlays, or onlays, which may be the only option in cases of serious and extensive decay.
Did You Know?
Fluoride makes small cavities harder to detect using traditional methods like visual inspection of the tooth, non-digital x-rays, or probing the tooth with a dental instrument.
Akshar dental care uses the DIAGNOdent® laser to diagnose decay that other dentists may miss. The DIAGNOdent® uses painless pulses of light to search for areas of decay. The earlier we find and fill your cavities, the healthier your teeth and mouth will be.
Composite vs. Mercury Fillings
For decades, many dentists offered only mercury-amalgam (silver) fillings. Mercury fillings are still used to fill cavities because it is relatively easy to work with, inexpensive, and readily available.
Today, however, a much better option exists: composite fillings.
At Akshar Dental, we’re committed to helping you make the best choice for your health and your smile. Because of this, we use only composite fillings, which offer many advantages over traditional mercury fillings.
Composite Fillings | Mercury Silver Fillings | |
---|---|---|
Made from… | Non-toxic and environmentally friendly quartz-like material. | Toxic mercury that’s potentially dangerous to your health and the environment. |
Look… | Just like one of your own teeth, thanks to the natural white color. | Like a filling. Bright silver color stands out and can make you conscious of your teeth and your smile. |
Work by... | Bonding directly to the surface of your tooth. Requires minimal removal of healthy tooth structure. | Filling in space created by drilling to remove healthy tooth structure, known as “undercutting”. |
Durability | By their nature, composite fillings can last for decades and actually strengthen and protect the surrounding tooth structure from breaks and fractures. | Mercury fillings can weaken teeth, causing cracks and fractures. Must also be replaced if they fall out or are damaged. |
