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.
Call us at 419-419-3334 or toll free at 888-787-4808 to make an appointment.
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!

They made me feel very comfortable during the process. I had to have crowns and I am afraid of dentists, but they helped me to get over my fear. They helped me to get past that. They treated me like I was a member of their family. They were wonderful, caring people, always asking me if I was okay. They were very caring people. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

Dr. Nigro and his staff have provided me with high quality dental care over the years. Dr. Nigro always addresses all of my questions and makes me feel comfortable in the dental chair. My experiences are always positive and pain free! Dr. Nigro even came in late on a Saturday night to fix my tooth in an emergency situation! In my 60+ years of seeing medical professionals, Dr. Nigro has been the only doctor who personally calls to check on me after a procedure. I also appreciate the staff's attention to detail and professionalism. This office is a class act!
