Tooth-Colored Fillings in Trinity, FL — Douglas Dentistry

Tooth-Colored Fillings in Trinity, FL

Composite fillings match the shade of your tooth and bond directly to the remaining structure, which means less healthy tooth has to be removed than with the silver amalgam most Trinity adults grew up with.

Mercury-Free Fillings for Trinity Patients

This is the most common question we field from longtime Trinity patients, and the answer disappoints people who want a simple yes. Both the FDA and the ADA consider existing amalgam fillings safe, and removing a sound one releases more mercury vapor than leaving it alone. We replace amalgam when there is an actual reason — the filling is cracked, decay has appeared underneath, the tooth is fracturing around it, or the patient strongly prefers the cosmetic change and understands the tradeoff. We do not recommend wholesale replacement of intact fillings, and we will tell you which of yours genuinely need attention.

Should Trinity Patients Replace Old Silver Fillings?

This is the most common question longtime Trinity patients ask, and the answer disappoints people wanting a simple yes. Both the FDA and the ADA consider intact amalgam fillings safe, and removing a sound one releases more mercury vapor than leaving it alone. We replace amalgam when there is an actual reason — the filling is cracked, decay has appeared underneath, or the tooth is fracturing around it. We do not recommend wholesale replacement of intact fillings.

For the full comparison of composite and amalgam, and how modern fillings are placed, see our main tooth colored fillings page. The clinical care is identical — this page covers what is specific to patients coming from Trinity.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Are silver fillings dangerous?
The FDA and ADA consider intact amalgam fillings safe. Removing a sound filling releases more vapor than leaving it in place.
When should an old filling be replaced?
When it cracks, when decay develops underneath, or when the surrounding tooth begins to fracture. We will show you on the X-ray.
Do composite fillings last as long as silver?
Modern composites are comparable for most sizes, though very large restorations in back teeth may do better as a crown.
