Mercury Free Dentistry

When it comes to your smile, we know how important it is to make sure it looks its best and brightest. But at Advanced Dental Practices, we know that safety is important as well.

Our regard for providing the safest treatments to our patients is one of the reasons we are a proud supporter of mercury free dentistry. For those unaware, when a dentist implants a “silver filling,” in your mouth, the filling is actually made of amalgam, an alloy that is mostly composed of mercury. The dangers of mercury have been well documented, and these fillings are no exception. Their implantation requires the removal of healthy tooth matter, weakening the structure of your smile and damaging your overall oral health.

As a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), Dr. Palioca knows and understands the risks these fillings can bring to your mouth. Working together with his colleagues, physicians, and leaders in the medical field, Dr. Palioca and the rest of the IAOMT believe in finding the best, safest ways to keep your smile glowing – while keeping you healthy as well. Their philosophy is that dentistry should be “based on peer-reviewed science,” which is why they are constantly seeking new alternatives and ways to improve the dental field.

For all your oral health needs in Wrentham, give Dr. Palioca a call today at 508-384-3760. Our dental office proudly serves the surrounding area as well, including Attleboro, Franklin, and Mansfield.
