Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses beautiful, Quick and Easy Solution for unsightly black Fillings WHY LET YOUR COMPETITION GET ALL THE BEST LEADS? Over the past thirtyfive years in the dental field, one of the most significant changes I’ve seen is the appearance of people’s Dr. Michael Tessier back teeth. We usually talk about front teeth when talking about cosmetic dentistry, but the appearance of the back teeth is also significant. I remember when I started in dentistry looking at mouths full of black fillings. I seldom see that anymore today, particularly in Southern Orange County where my practice is located. As an example, several years ago, there was a trailer for a Goldie Hawn movie in which this lovely actress threw her head back and laughed loudly, displaying a mouthful of silver/mercury amalgam fillings, which had turned black. Hardly consistent with the rest of her Hollywood visage. When silver fillings get old, they corrode- effectively rust- and it’s this silver oxide that turns black. And, that blackening is so pervasive that it often turns the whole tooth very dark. Last week the checker at
the supermarket had mostly clean, white teeth, except for the two lower left molars with very large mercury/ silver amalgam fillings. They’d probably been in her mouth for twenty years, and while they could have been clinically sound, she probably did not realize how they affected her appearance. By removing and replacing that black filling with a tooth-colored plastic restoration, or a toothcolored porcelain filling (lasts longer than plastic), or, in the case where removing the filling would leave the remaining tooth structure too weakened, a tooth-colored crown (or cap), the tooth could be returned to its normal, unremarkable appearance. Given the law of unintended consequences and the first rule of medicine-“Do no harm”-we avoid doing dental work that isn’t absolutely necessary. But a procedure like that is relatively non-invasive, and the effect is both dramatic and beautiful. Worth thinking about. If you have any questions about any things dental, please call my office (949-459-7212) to make a complimentary consultation appointment. The office address is 28562 Oso Pkwy at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways in Rancho Santa Margarita.
