Dr.

bridges do not have to be made of gold or mercury amalgam. Dr. Bernstein has been
at the forefront of restorative cosmetic dentistry since dental school.
"Thank you all so much for all of the tender loving care I received from all of you with my latest mishap. I am still enjoying the beautiful flowers." - Marilyn Tracy
"One of my patients in the clinic asked for 'white
fillings' during my senior year, just when light activated materials first came
out," Dr. Bernstein reminisces. "I was lucky enough to be one of the first dental
students trained to use these new materials."
"Then, my first job out of school was in an office
that had a mercury spill, so they didn't use mercury amalgam fillings anymore.
In learning about the cosmetic materials, I found that they had a lot of advantages
over mercury amalgam and gold."
The advantages of Metal-Free fillings, crowns and
bridges are as follows:
Less invasive placement,
More stable than mercury amalgam,
Provide a tighter seal
Do not weaken teeth since they don't
expand with heat the way metal does.
Restoring teeth to their original strength
and to a beautiful appearance
Now, with the latest generation of materials, even
bridgework can beautifully mimic nature without metal. If you have cavities or
worn out dental work, or if you just want to replace your existing dental work
to make it look beautiful, Dr. Bernstein can help you with gorgeous dental restorations
that defy detection.
