Pavletic & Vorderer D.D.S. are a mercury free dental office. Today there are more options available for filling teeth but for those patients who still have mercury fillings, you might want to consider replacing or removing mercury fillings for the following reasons:

- Silver or amalgam dental filings contain 48-55 % mercury, 33-35% silver, and varioius amounts of copper, tin, zinc, and other metals.

- Mercury is a powerful poison. Mercury is more toxic than lead, cadmium, and even arsenic.

- Scientific research has demonstrated that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage your brain, organs, glands and even supres the body's immune system. It can even affect the brain of a developing baby in pregnant women.

- The World Health Organization concluded that the daily intake of mercury from amalgam dental fillings exceeded the combined daily intake of mercury derived from air, water and food, including fish.

Dr. Chris and Dr. Vicki can help you become mercury free using Cerec restorations, a leading dental technology that replaces silver fillings through ceramic reconstruction.
