Do not go here to get your silver filings removed. I did, and my bite got so messed up I developed tinnitus. It is absolute torture.
What they don't tell you is that to remove silver filings, they cut away a good amount of your own perfectly fine enamel, and the replace both your tooth and the filing with a delicate composite that cannot take any direct pressure.
Why does this matter? Because instead of having solid surfaces to bite on with your molars, you end up with tiny points around the edges. That's it. My teeth erupted to try to compensate for the loss, exposing sensitive cement at the tooth root that now looks horrible. That area is also much more vulnerable to cavities.
I would not have had any idea just how bad it was if I hadn't seen how much of my gold crown that got cut away to make my bite 'work' (it doesn't).
If you need to replace a silver filing, go to a dentist trained on gold overlays and inlays. They aren't white, but they are rock solid and can last forever. They will give you a real biting surface, and more importantly protect your inner ear from jaw misalignment.
Don't even bother trying to talk to this dentist about any damage she's done. It's like trying to pin down a slippery eel. Go somewhere else. read more
