Tooth Fillings, Ottawa-Glandorf OH
Many people still have silver/mercury fillings in their mouths from years past. These fillings are not particularly pleasing to the eye, and we know that by unavoidable design, silver/mercury fillings ultimately result in a weaker tooth structure. Tooth Colored Restorations create fillings that are not only beautiful (or unnoticeable) but also add strength to weakened teeth. These restorations are esthetically pleasing and very strong thanks to new bonding technologies.

Disadvantages of Silver fillings:
Silver fillings have many drawbacks. The edges of the silver filling can wear down, become weak or break. This results in the tooth not being protected and lets cavities get started once again. With age, the metal of a silver filling expands, contracts, and can split.
Silver fillings contain 50 percent mercury. They can corrode, leak and cause stains on your teeth and gums.
Fortunately, silver fillings can safely be replaced with Tooth-Colored Restorations.
Advantages of Tooth-Colored Restorations
There are many advantages to tooth-colored restorations. Resin fillings are bonded to the teeth creating a tight, superior fit to the natural tooth. Such restorations can be used in instances where much of the tooth structure has been lost. The tooth remains intact and stronger.
Since the resin used in tooth-colored restorations contain fluoride this can help prevent decay. The resin wears like natural teeth and does not require placement at the gum line, which is healthier for your gums!
The result is a beautiful smile!
Replacing Silver Fillings with a Tooth Colored Restoration
You can have your silver fillings replaced with tooth-colored restorations. This process can be completed in one appointment.
Your teeth are restored to a natural look and feel, they are stronger and the tooth is protected!

I initially had an appointment for my six month check-up and cleaning. During the check-up, it was discovered that I had chipped a tooth. When I was checking out, the secretary asked if I would want to have the tooth repaired today because they had just had a cancellation. Instead of setting up an appointment, I headed back to a room to have my tooth repaired. The repair went off without any difficulty, and I was leaving the office in a half hour. I want to thank Dr. Nigro and his staff for a very pain free visit and tooth repair. I will definitely be seeing them again in six months for my check-up and cleaning.
