Amalgam fillings, often referred to as "silver fillings", contain silver, tin, copper, and about 50 percent mercury. The mercury is used to bind the metals together and to make the filling material easy to manipulate and place. However, mercury is toxic, and many people are concerned about it leaking from fillings and affecting their health. That’s why Dr. Charles Schof is a mercury-free dentist, providing white composite fillings for all patients.
Composite fillings contain a mixture of glass or quartz with plastic resin. They are a new alternative, and because of this, we have limited information on the effects they have on patient’s overall health. But they’re still a popular alternative to silver fillings because composite resin can be treated to mimic the color of your natural teeth.

Dr. Schof is experienced in cosmetic dentistry and has the skill and technique required to place composite fillings that will last. He will ensure the composite material matches your teeth and enhances the aesthetic of your smile. When you smile or laugh, it will look completely natural.
