Lead-Free and Mercury-Free Fillings

At the Hunt Club Dental Centre your health is important to us. In partnership with our patients, we take the utmost care in ensuring safety and wellbeing through education and innovation.

One of the ways we protect our patients' health and the environment is through the use of lead-free fillings and mercury-free fillings. In recent years, the traditional practice of repairing and restoring cavities with silver amalgam fillings has been called into question for its potential long-term health risks. Lead-free fillings and mercury-free fillings are made from a white resin that is just as durable but provides a more natural looking, aesthetically pleasing result.

When damage to the tooth is more extensive, inlay or onlay materials may be used to provide the most strength and durability to the restored tooth. The white resin offers a completely lead-free filling and mercury-free filling that patients can be sure won't compromise their overall health and wellbeing.

Lead-free fillings and mercury-free fillings are just one of the many ways the Hunt Club Dental Centre strives to provide patients with quality dental services in Ottawa.
