LA, Orange County, and Newport Beach Patients Benefit from Porcelain Fillings
Dr. David S. Frey removes unattractive mercury fillings and replaces them with stronger and more aesthetically pleasing porcelain fillings. Dr. Frey offers patients in the LA, Orange County, and Newport Beach area porcelain fillings replacements because the porcelain can strengthen teeth by holding the tooth structure, while mercury fillings may actually crack or break a tooth.
Dr. Frey prefers to use porcelain fillings because they create a more natural smile. The porcelain fillings are metal-free, and like porcelain veneers, they mimic the qualities of natural teeth, allowing light to properly reflect off of and flow through the teeth.
Aesthetics are not the only reason that Dr. Frey offers Orange County, LA , and Newport Beach patients porcelain fillings and does not use filling material that contains mercury. As a concerned cosmetic dentist, Dr. Frey is among those health care professionals who feel mercury can contribute to health problems. Also, Dr. Frey believes that porcelain fillings are more durable. Since mercury fillings have a tendency to expand and contract with the temperature changes in the mouth (hot and cold drinks and food), a mercury-filled tooth can break. Dr. Frey only wants the best for his patients so he uses porcelain fillings.
Whether you are interested in replacing your old mercury fillings or if you have a new cavity that needs to be filled, porcelain fillings are the smart choice. Porcelain fillings are more natural in appearance, they strengthen the damaged tooth, and they require less of your natural tooth to be removed than mercury fillings require.
Whenever possible, Dr. Frey also prefers to use porcelain fillings instead of dental crowns. Unlike crowns, porcelain fillings keep the natural form and shape of a tooth.
