Dentistry today is undergoing a quiet revolution. As Dr. Michael Petrillo of Lehigh Valley Smile Designs emphasizes: “Although it’s rarely in the news, every aspect of dentistry has advanced to make it higher in standards of quality, faster, more durable, more comfortable and much more aesthetic.

No longer are dentists limited by old techniques and materials such as 150 year old silver mercury fillings. Such fillings are primarily responsible for fractures and recurrent decay due to the expanding and contracting movement of the mercury filling within the tooth. Now, extremely durable long lasting dental restorations made of porcelain can transform a patient’s mouth from cracked, leaking, gray staining filling to a stunning natural appearance on back teeth as well as front teeth and do so in as little as two visits!”
