Amalgam Removal in Las Vegas, NV

Old amalgam restorations are a sneaky place for cavities to hide because little holes occur between the silver filling and the tooth over time. These little holes trap bacteria and form cavities that are difficult to see as they hide under the silver. Dr. Phi Phan at Elegant Smiles uses magnification to expertly detect even the smallest holes and will replace your old unsightly amalgams with a white composite resin. WIth this particular patient, the silver was in his tooth too long, causing his tooth to stain grey. To protect the integrity of the tooth, this harmless stain was left behind. We suggest replacing your old silver fillings before this happens!
