Composite (tooth-colored) Fillings

Dr. Last is highly skilled at the placement of tooth-colored composite fillings. Composite fillings are much more esthetic than traditional silver fillings, and they do not contain any mercury. Many questions have been raised about the existence of BPA in composite fillings. The filling materials used in Dr. Last's office do not pose a significant risk for BPA exposure.

In some cases, amalgam is the preferred restorative material. It is important to note that extensive research has been conducted which proves that the mercury in amalgam (silver) fillings is not detrimental to human health. Dr. Last will always discuss your treatment plan and available options prior to any procedure.
