At Price & Associates Family Dentistry, we are proud to offer mercury-free dental restorations, such as composite fillings. These fillings are not only free of mercury but also offer significant benefits for your teeth. Composite fillings are made from a durable, tooth-colored material that blends seamlessly with your natural smile. Unlike amalgam, which can expand and contract with temperature changes and contribute to cracks in your teeth, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure. This bonding process helps strengthen the tooth and reduces the risk of further damage.
Choosing mercury-free dentistry also supports your overall health. Many patients prefer composite restorations because they do not pose the same concerns about mercury exposure as amalgam fillings. Additionally, composite fillings are ideal for patients who prioritize a natural, healthy-looking smile. With their tooth-colored appearance, composite restorations are virtually invisible, providing both functionality and aesthetics.
Our dentists and team are committed to providing safe, high-quality care that supports your oral health and overall wellbeing. If you have concerns about mercury in dental materials or are interested in replacing old amalgam fillings with composite restorations, we are here to help. We welcome your questions and will work with you to achieve a strong, healthy smile. Call 337-988-4041 today to learn more about the benefits of mercury-free dentistry in Lafayette, Louisiana, and our dedication to your health, and to schedule your appointment with Dr. Ashley Price or Dr. Chelsea Guilliot.
