Mercury Filling Removal from Dental Health Center Gives Louisville, KY Patients a Safer Alternative

Amalgam fillings have become a growing concern within the dental community. An amalgam filling is made up of 50% mercury which could potentially put patients at risk for health problems.  More and more doctors are concerned with the quantity of mercury vapor that could be released while chewing food, drinking hot coffee or tea, swallowing your saliva, gum chewing, and even brushing your teeth.  One of the foremost concerns is that mercury absorption occurs and builds up, potentially creating a situation that results in negative effects on the cardiovascular, skeletal and nervous system.  Although studies that aim confirm or dispel the long term danger of mercury fillings are still in progress, a number of dental filling material alternatives are available, which eliminates potential concerns and dangers, and results in a more pleasing aesthetic.  For Louisville, KY individuals who are concerned with the mercury content of their previous fillings, as well as their appearance, Dr. Kall and Dr. Albers of Dental Health Centers offer the solution of mercury filling removal (http://www.dentalhc.com/mercury-fillings-removal/).

At Dental Health Centers of Louisville, KY, the mercury filling removal process is fairly straightforward procedure that extracts the previous filling from its place in the tooth and is replaced with a composite filling.  Composite fillings provide numerous advantages over amalgam in both their structure and appearance.  They do not absorb temperature to the degree that mercury fillings do, which minimizes tooth sensitivity, as well as the unpleasant effects of drinking and eating substances that are hot and cold. Composite fillings will also retain their integrity when subjected to high and low temperatures, rather than expanding and contracting as metal fillings do.  The result is a more secure filling that is less like to become displaced or cause chipping and breakage. Patients of Dental Health Center also appreciate the appearance of composite fillings as they are naturally tooth colored, making them less distinguishable from natural teeth, even if used in visible parts of the mouth.

Dr. Kall and Dr. Albers take great satisfaction in the peace of mind they provide to Louisville, KY patients when performing mercury filling removals.  They invite anyone seeking a safer, more attractive and modern solution to the questionable effects of mercury fillings, to visit Dental Health Center and discover how their extensive array of periodontal, cosmetic and general dental services can improve the health and beauty of your smile.
