No Mercury, No Worries: 5 Reasons to Choose a Mercury-Free Dental Office

If you’ve ever wondered what’s in your dental fillings—or what shouldn’t be in them—you’re not alone. More and more patients are looking for dental offices that offer mercury-free options. At Gentle Dental Care in Menomonie, Wisconsin, Drs. Emily Andre and Frankie Thatcher proudly provide mercury-free dentistry to support safer, cleaner, and more advanced dental care. Whether you’re concerned about materials used in the past or making better choices for the future, you’ve come to the right place.

Here are five great reasons to smile brighter with a mercury-free approach:

1. Modern Materials for Modern Mouths

The old-school silver fillings of the past contained mercury, a material that has raised concerns for both health and environmental reasons. We use advanced tooth-colored composites that are mercury-free, durable, and look completely natural. These materials bond beautifully to your tooth and support long-lasting oral health without the shiny metal.

2. A Natural Look That Keeps You Smiling

Let’s be honest. Metal fillings have never won any beauty contests. Mercury-free composite fillings are designed to match the color of your natural teeth, so no one will ever know you had a cavity. Whether you’re laughing, talking, or chewing, your restoration blends in seamlessly with the rest of your smile. It’s functional and fabulous.

3. Safe Replacement of Old Silver Fillings

Do you still have metal fillings from years ago? You’re not stuck with them. We can safely remove and replace old amalgam fillings using careful protocols to minimize exposure. This gives you the chance to upgrade to a cleaner, safer option that aligns with your current health goals and aesthetic preferences.

4. Supporting Your Health and the Environment

Mercury is not just a personal health concern; it’s also an environmental one. Mercury released into water or air during disposal can pose risks to ecosystems. By offering mercury-free treatments, we help support both your wellness and a cleaner planet. Choosing mercury-free dentistry is a small but meaningful way to go green with your grin.

5. No Stress, No Surprises, Just Thoughtful Care

We believe patients deserve to know exactly what’s going into their bodies. That’s why she offers transparent communication, personalized treatment plans, and material choices that prioritize your health and peace of mind. Mercury-free dentistry isn’t a trend at our office; it’s a commitment to doing what’s best for you.
