Dan Mannikko, DDS | Reno/Tahoe’s Neuromuscular, TMJ, and Cosmetic Dentist.
The days of heavy, silver, gold, or gray metal fillings are history. Dr. Mannikko can upgrade your fillings or crowns to the color of your surrounding teeth, making them look natural and virtually undetectable.
Improved appearance is nice, but the additional benefits are even better:
- Mercury silver fillings fill a hole.
- Mercury siver fillings expand/contract with temperature changes and cause cracking and fracturing of the tooth structure.
- Mercury silver fillings have been around for over 100 years.
- Mercury silver fillings are a biohazard when removed from the mouth and require special disposal.
Mercury silver fillings have been controversial, though no scientific studies have been able to show a direct cause and effect of disease from this material. However, dentistry today has developed materials that when used properly, reinforce tooth structure, seal out invading bacteria, and wear extremely well. Which material would you prefer?
Call Dr. Mannikko today for your consultation.
Metal expands and contracts, cracking teeth. Adhesive Dentistry flawlessly fills the gaps.
