Not only are they extremely visible in your smile, but because they\u2019re metal, they can cause a variety of problems including expanding and contracting within the teeth, leaving them vulnerable to damage. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that having more than eight of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westchestergentledentistry.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">restorations<\/a> can pose dangerous health risks. Here\u2019s why if you\u2019re still sporting old-fashioned metal fillings, it may be time to replace them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Amalgam Metal Fillings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amalgam metal fillings are restorations designed to repair areas of damage or decay in your tooth\u2019s enamel. They are made of a variety of metals such as tin, copper, silver, and mercury. While these materials are considered safe in small amounts, recent research has revealed that having eight or more of them could increase the levels of mercury in your bloodstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Composite Resin Fillings?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Composite resin fillings debuted in the 1960s as an alternative to amalgam metal. They are made of a mixture of resin, glass, quartz, ceramic and coupling agents that are designed to allow your restorations to harden under a UV curing light. They are perfectly safe for patients of all ages, including those with metal sensitivities, and unlike their metal predecessors, can be completely color-matched to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I Replace My Metal Fillings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While your amalgam metal fillings were designed to protect your teeth from further damage, they weren\u2019t intended to last forever. Thus, even if they are in good condition now, they will eventually need to be replaced. In most cases, they can last for up to 15 years, while composite resin can last around 10. However, because they don\u2019t contain metal, the latter is considered safer, and because it won\u2019t contract or expand like metal and weaken the tooth structure, it offers better protection overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, while old-fashioned amalgam metal fillings have been protecting teeth for over two centuries, composite resin restorations are not only safer, but they\u2019re also more discreet and natural looking, too. To upgrade your grin to these durable, lifelike fillings, schedule a consultation with your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westchestergentledentistry.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Westchester Gentle Dentistry<\/a>, our team is proud to provide a variety of smile-saving solutions to get your gorgeous grin back in optimal health.
