Porcelain Fillings and Filling Upgrades

Laurel, Columbia, Fulton, Silver Spring - Maryland

If you're in Laurel, Maryland, and have old, unattractive fillings, Laurel Lakes Cosmetic Dentistry is the place to upgrade to beautiful, natural-looking porcelain fillings. Filling upgrades can correct many problems including:

• Visible silver
• Dark or tarnished filling
• Loose or failing filling
• Mercury related health concerns

Visible silver, dark or tarnished fillings can become the focal point of your smile, and look unhealthy. You may even find yourself trying not to smile in public or for photos in order to hide an unsightly filling. A porcelain filling upgrade can refurbish and restore your smile to its original, natural beauty.

The mercury debate

Silver fillings contain mercury. The potentially adverse health-effects of this small amount of mercury are still a matter of controversy in the medical community. But many patients choose to replace all their old metal fillings for health reasons.

Your entire filling upgrade process can be completed in one relaxed visit. What used to require two or more visits can now be accomplished in one, and with greater precision, using CEREC technology. CEREC allows us to perfectly match your tooth color and shape, creating a new filling in just minutes.
