Moving beyond mercury: the new age of dental care at PS Dental Care

As a member of PS Dental Care, I can't help but feel a great sense of responsibility and pride in the role we play in safeguarding your health. Not only do we strive to bring that captivating shine back to your teeth, but we also ensure that we're continuously refining our techniques to guarantee you optimal health. In the spirit of pushing the boundaries of dental care, our dentist Soho has decided to move beyond mercury amalgam fillings.

The problem with mercury


Mercury has served as a reliable component of dental fillings for centuries, known for its strength, durability, and ease of application. However, in more recent years, the use of mercury has become a hot topic of debate in the dental community due to potential health risks associated with this heavy metal. It's essential for our patients to understand why we're transitioning away from this traditionally used material and moving toward safer alternatives.


Exploring safer alternatives


Our commitment to maintaining your health and well-being is why we've invested in researching and implementing safer alternatives for dental fillings. The world of dentistry is continually evolving, and we are proud to evolve with it, placing ourselves at the forefront of these changes.


Composite resins are proving to be the best alternative to mercury fillings. Made from a combination of plastic and fine glass particles, composite resins have been gaining popularity for their aesthetic appeal and safety. They can be perfectly matched to the natural colour of your teeth, providing a more visually pleasing and natural look. More importantly, they don't carry the potential health risks associated with mercury.


Another exciting development is the use of ceramic fillings. Known for their durability and resistance to staining, ceramic fillings are another excellent alternative. Like composite resins, ceramics can be closely matched to your natural tooth colour, providing a seamless integration that doesn't compromise on your smile's aesthetics.


Embracing the new age of dental care


Our decision to transition away from mercury amalgam fillings to safer alternatives is not just a superficial change in procedure. It is a testament to our commitment to patient safety, well-being, and satisfaction. At our dentist Soho We understand that dental care is not just about the physical aspect but also the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your health is in safe hands.


Our focus has shifted to preventing dental issues before they occur rather than merely treating them. Regular dental check-ups, a balanced diet, good oral hygiene, and the use of the right dental products are all integral to this preventative approach.


Your journey with us


We assure you that your journey with our dentist Soho will be one of continuous care and support. Transitioning away from mercury fillings will take time and require the involvement of all our patients. We will work closely with you to ensure you understand the changes and benefits, addressing any concerns you may have along the way.


Remember, this is more than just a procedure—it's a reflection of our dedication to providing the best. We look forward to journeying with you through this exciting period of transformation and beyond. Together, we'll continue to shine a light on the path of dental health and well-being, creating brighter smiles with every step we take.
