Mercury-Free Dentistry

Sherwood Dental Care

Did you know that traditional silver fillings, called amalgam fillings, are made up of approximately 50 percent mercury? This concerns many people because they feel that having mercury in their mouth may pose serious health concerns.

Dr. Collins is a mercury-free dentist that hasn’t used amalgam in many years. Instead, we offer white composite fillings. Technology has evolved since the standard use of amalgam. This newer composite material can be bonded directly to the tooth and is strong enough to hold up on back teeth.
