Tooth Coloured Fillings
For over a decade, Dr. Singh has been supportive of the health and environmental concerns of his patients. While science and the dental profession continue the debate over the issue of mercury fillings, we understand those who request replacement of amalgams for personal peace of mind.
We also recommend replacement of dark fillings for aesthetic benefits. Mercury fillings are visible in smiles or laughter, while tooth-coloured mercury-free dental fillings give a more appealing, healthy appearance. Additionally, the material of tooth-coloured mercury-free fillings has the ability to bond to the tooth. It is less brittle, wears like enamel, and expands and contracts less to reduce the risk for cracked, sensitive teeth.

Testimonial:
"It was discovered during my examination that I needed a few fillings. I was sat down in a
comfy chair and had all the options explained to me (I hadn’t realised there was so many
choices when having a filling). I got to choose the treatment that best suited me at the time
and I didn’t feel pressured or rushed at all. I am glad I chose a white filling, it looks great
and feels much stronger than the old silver mercury fillings."

We do know that:
• Dental amalgam fillings consist of 50% mercury
• Mercury leaks from the fillings
• Mercury is highly toxic and
• Low grade chronic mercury intoxication can give rise to symptoms as; anxiety, irritability, fatigue, outbursts of temper, stress intolerance, decreased simultaneous capacity, loss of self-confidence, indecision, headache, depression, metallic taste etc...
We do not know:
• If the amount of mercury released from dental amalgam is enough to cause illness, even in the most exposed or the most sensitive minority of the amalgam-bearing population
Composite resin fillings contain no mercury. This mercury-free dental fillings are bonded to the tooth and therefore help prevent fractures of teeth. Amalgam (silver) fillings expand and contract differently than tooth structure, and crack and break the teeth they're in.
