Thousand Oaks Dentist, Sharon Shamoiel DDS, Offers Amalgam-Free Dental Fillings

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., July 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Thousand Oaks cosmetic dentist, Dr. Sharon Shamoiel, offers amalgam-free dental fillings. Amalgam fillings have been used for decades, but patients and dentists alike are becoming increasingly concerned about the potential health effects. While the FDA has determined that amalgam fillings are safe and effective, they do contain mercury. Composite resin fillings are an excellent alternative that contains no mercury, and they are also more aesthetically appealing than traditional metal fillings.

Composite resin fillings use a special quartz-and-resin composite that securely bonds to the natural structure of the tooth. Once the decayed tissue has been removed, Thousand Oaks dentist Dr. Shamoiel applies a conditioning liquid. This liquid helps prepare the tooth for the application of the resin. The resin has a putty-like texture that can be easily applied in layers and shaped to match the contours of the tooth. Dr. Shamoiel cures the material using a special light, and then the material is polished. Once a tooth-colored filling has been finished, it is almost indistinguishable from the natural tooth.
