Dr. Sy Viet Nguyen of Central Ohio Dental Spa Gives Patients Peace of Mind with Mercury Free Restoration of Smiles

For many years, amalgam has been used to fill cavities.  Amalgam lasts longer than some dental resin, is less expensive and easier to utilize, but it may not be the ideal dental restoration material that it would appear to be. While this amalgam is useful in dental restoration and filling applications, it is composed of roughly 50% mercury¾ an element that can have negative impact on human health.  As Dr. Sy Viet Nguyen fields his Newark and Columbus Ohio patients’ concerns, he also provides mercury-free restoration of dental work.

Although clinical trials have shown that amalgam fillings are no more harmful to children’s’ mental development than mercury-free fillings, scientists are still studying links between the vapors from mercury fillings and diseases like multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s.  The safety of dental amalgam also has yet to be studied for children who are genetically predisposed to high levels of mercury.  As part of his commitment to staying informed and active in the most relevant and advanced dental care practices, Dr. Sy Viet Nguyen wants his Central Ohio Dental Spa patients to have options in their dental care.

Mercury-free restoration of dental work is completed through the use of material composites.  Many mercury-free filling composites last as long as amalgam fillings, and are as durable and affordable as amalgam.   Removing metal fillings may especially benefit those patients who experience pain and tooth sensitivity when consuming hot or cold food and beverages.  Mercury-free restoration also leaves the mouth with a more pleasing appearance as non-amalgam filling composites are often opaque white, lacking the metallic, dark silver appearance of amalgam fillings.

If you’d like to learn more about the process of mercury-free restoration of previous dental work and if it’s necessary for you, consult with Dr. Sy Viet Nguyen by visiting http://www.centralohiodentalspa.com to schedule a visit.  You can also arrange for an appointment in Columbus, OH by calling 614-933-8500 or Newark, OH by calling 740-344-8692.
