Common problems with silver filling treatment

Silver fillings are covered by health insurance, making them inexpensive to treat, but they also have some unexpected disadvantages.

I want to whiten and clean my teeth ~ for a confident smile ~

If you have silver metal among your white teeth, it will be very noticeable. In particular, if you have silver fillings on your bottom teeth, they will look black to others whenever you open your mouth, which is something that many people worry about.

Metal allergy

Allergic reactions can occur when metal ions dissolved by saliva are absorbed into the body. Symptoms can affect not only the oral cavity but the entire body, and in some cases, allergic reactions can suddenly appear several years after getting silver fillings.

I want to get rid of dark gums

Blackening occurs when metal ions dissolved by moisture (saliva) are deposited on the gums.

Secondary cavities and durability of the silver fillings themselves

Metal easily deteriorates over time, and small gaps or steps form between the teeth and the silver fillings. Food debris and plaque can accumulate in these gaps and steps, causing tooth decay.

What materials can it be exchanged for?

Composite resin (white plastic material) looks white and is not metal, so it can prevent metal allergies, darkening of the gums, and secondary tooth decay.
You can choose between health insurance coverage and self-paid treatment.

Ceramics are characterized by their whiteness, transparency, and luster, just like natural teeth. They are not made of metal.

Gold is a metal, so it looks noticeable, but it is a metal that does not easily dissolve, so there is a low possibility of developing metal allergies, darkening of the gums, or secondary tooth decay.

Zirconia is a type of ceramic that has the whiteness, transparency, and luster of natural teeth, while also being strong. It is not a metal.
