Amalgam Filling Mexico

Many scientific studies have linked metal amalgams with mercury as a cause for a variety of health problems. The American Dental Assn. and the Canadian Dental Assn. has banned its use and the Government of Germany pays to have these fillings removed and replaced for all their citizens. We use oxygen masks for patient protection and replace the old fillings with resin composite filling material for $150usd per tooth regardless of the number of surfaces.

Tooth color matching resin fillings. Regardless which tooth or number of surfaces. Price includes tooth color matching resin replacement fillings.

We use the latest technology for our cavity fillings. This "White filling" is technically called a Composite Resin. You may have heard of it as Bonding. Composites are made up of a quartz resin and usually contain a light sensitive agent. These light cured composites are extremely cosmetic and most often bonded into place. They can be used in both the front of the mouth as well as in your back teeth. In order to bond a filling material to your tooth it is first necessary to remove the decay, prepare the tooth and then to condition the enamel and dentin. Once conditioned, a thin resin is applied which bonds to the etched surface. The bond strength of these fillings is incredible. Bonding increases the strength of these restorations far beyond those of only a short time ago.

Amalgam is widely used for direct fillings, mainly for posterior teeth, and completed in single appointment. Cast gold is used for indirect restorations. Amalgam leaches tiny amounts of mercury and while some concerns have been raised, there is currently no evidence that any of this mercury remains in the body nor that dangerous levels are ever reached
