If safe, amalgam free dentistry is what you need; Rideau Dental Centre is your solution, where your safety is our priority.

Dental amalgams are mainly composed of mercury and are called ‘silver fillings’ for their color. This can be misleading because research states, that over the years, amalgam fillings contribute heavily to a person’s mercury load in the body. Long term effects of dental amalgams severe disorders like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, immune deficiency and increase in stress related issues. Amalgam fillings can cause direct damage to your teeth through removal of a significant part of your tooth and regular contraction and expansion of the amalgam, causing cracks in your teeth.

To top it all, amalgam also causes damage to the environment through release of waste mercury in the nature in the form of human and dental clinic waste.

At Rideau Dental Centre, we provide non-toxic fillings that are safe for your teeth and overall health. To engage in amalgam free dentistry, we use better replacements like porcelain and tooth colored fillings, which are not only safe, but also aesthetically appealing.
