Fillings
Both the public and the dental profession are concerned about the safety of dental treatment and any potential health risks that might be associated with the materials used to restore the teeth. All materials commonly used (and listed in this fact sheet) have been shown – through laboratory and clinical research, as well as through extensive clinical use – to be safe and effective for the general population. The presence of these materials in the teeth does not cause adverse health problems for the majority of the population. There exists a diversity of various scientific opinions regarding the safety of mercury dental amalgams. The research literature in peer-reviewed scientific journals suggests that otherwise healthy women, children and diabetics are not at increased risk for exposure to mercury from dental amalgams. Although there are various opinions with regard to mercury risk in pregnancy, diabetes, and children, these opinions are not scientifically conclusive and therefore the dentist may want to discuss these opinions with their patients. There is no research evidence that suggests pregnant women, diabetics, and children are at increased health risk from dental amalgam fillings in their mouth. A recent study reported in the JADA factors in a reduced tolerance (1/50th of the WHO safe limit) for exposure in calculating the amount of mercury that might be taken in from dental fillings. This level falls below the established safe limits for exposure to a low concentration of mercury or any other released component from a dental restorative material. Thus, while these sub-populations may be perceived to be at increased health risk from exposure to dental restorative materials, the scientific evidence does not support that claim. However, there are individuals who may be susceptible to sensitivity, allergic or adverse reactions to selected materials. As with all dental materials, the risks and the benefits should be discussed with the patient, especially with those in susceptible populations.
Resin Composite
Composite resins are the preferred alternative to amalgam in many cases. They have a long history of biocompatibility and safety. Composite resins are composed of a variety of complex inorganic and organic compounds, any of which might provoke allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Reports of such sensitivity are atypical. However, there are individuals who may be susceptible to sensitivity, allergic or adverse reactions to composite resin restorations. The risks and benefits of all dental materials should be discussed with the patient, especially with those in susceptible populations.
Veneers
Good-Moderate. Little removal of natural tooth is necessary for veneers; more for crowns since strength is related to its bulk.
Crowns
Other dental materials that have elicited significant concern among dentists are nickel-chromium-berylium alloys used predominantly for crowns and bridges. Approximately 10% of the female population are alleged to be allergic to nickel
Bridges
The law specifically states it should be provided “prior to the performance of dental restoration work.” This includes fillings – whether amalgam or composite, crowns and bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
The most frequently used materials in restorative dentistry are amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer cement, resin-ionomer cement, porcelain (ceramic), porcelain (fused-to-metal), gold alloys (noble) and nickel or cobalt-chrome (base-metal) alloys. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, benefits and risks. These and other relevant factors are compared in the attached matrix titled “Comparisons of Restorative Dental Materials.” A Glossary of Terms is also attached to assist the reader in understanding the terms used.

Dr. Moneim became a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry on April 2004.This designation symbolizes the highest level of competence in implant dentistry attesting to the fact that a dentist has demonstrated knowledge, ability, and proficiency in implant dentistry through a rigorous examination process. Dr. Moneim uses the technique of Computer Aided Implantology, a more accurate way of implant placement with flapless surgery. Dr. Moneim is currently a Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California, San Francisco and a medical staff consultant at Highland Hospital Department of Oral Surgery for Implant Prosthetic Clinic in the Alameda County in California.
Tooth Extractions
A: In most cases, anyone healthy enough to undergo routine dental extractions or oral surgery can be considered for an implant procedure. Patients suffering from uncontrolled chronic diseases or systemic problems or behaviors and heavy smokers may not be candidates for implants.
