Composite Fillings

Porcelain Fillings

There are many dentists that still use silver and mercury fillings to treat dental caries.  Silver and mercury fillings are highly outdated and known to weaken the structure of the teeth, potentially causing breakage or a weaker tooth foundation.  Most concerning of all, the safety of mercury fillings has been questioned, with some dentists and patients speculating about potential leakage. Not only can they be toxic to the body, they are also aesthetically unnatural which usually leads to an undesirable look. 

As a Cosmetic practice, Santa Monica Esthetic Dentistry believes that fillings should be discreet, undetectable and most importantly, safe.  An individual's well being is the number one priority, and is why Santa Monica Esthetic only uses porcelain fillings.
