Mercury-Free Fillings in Columbus, OH
Repair and protect your teeth with mercury-free fillings
Upgrade your smile with Columbus, OH fillings that protect teeth while preserving their appearance.
Fillings are a very popular solution for cavity-damaged teeth. Schindler Smile Studio offers mercury-free fillings in Columbus, OH (composite fillings). These materials are white in color, and they do not contract or expand with heat. Outdated silver (amalgam) fillings expand and contract, which cracks teeth over time, allowing infiltration of bacteria and subsequent tooth damage.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, mercury-free fillings offer numerous benefits for dental health. Unlike traditional silver fillings, which contain mercury and other metals, composite fillings are mercury-free and biocompatible. This means they are less likely to cause allergic reactions or sensitivity in patients. Furthermore, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional support and helping to prevent further decay. This tight seal also reduces the risk of bacteria infiltrating the tooth, decreasing the likelihood of future cavities or infections.
