Dr. Yolanda Cintron is the best dentist I’ve had in over 40 years. I consider myself incredibly lucky to live so close by her office so she can be my dentist now. I will not let any other dentist touch my teeth. Dr. Cintron being a holistic and biological dentist is a huge plus for me. My teeth look so much better and healthier now that I have all the hidden metal and root canals removed. Dr. Cintron and her staff are all very friendly, caring, professional and knowledgeable. I learn something new about health on each visit. Their attention to detail is amazing. They truly care about your well-being and comfort. Highly recommended!!

Embrace a Healthier Smile With Safe Fillings
Cavities shouldn’t be taken lightly. They can lead to more serious dental problems in the future. That’s why you need to visit our practice for regular dental checkups. Our team will use advanced technology to spot cavities in their earliest stages. If we spot issues, your dentist will use composite fillings to restore your tooth.
Plus, as a biological holistic dentist and a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, Dr. Cintron can also safely remove old amalgam fillings. She will use a protocol developed to avoid mercury exposure during the removal process.
Composite fillings offer a range of advantages over traditional metal fillings:
- Natural Appearance – Composite fillings match your tooth color and become virtually invisible in your mouth.
- Preserve More Tooth Structure – These fillings can bond directly to your tooth. This means more of your healthy tooth structure stays intact.
- Mercury-Free – Unlike metal fillings, composite fillings contain no mercury. You can feel good knowing you’re choosing a safe, non-toxic option.
- Versatility – Composite material can repair chips and small cracks in addition to filling cavities. It’s a flexible solution for various dental issues.
- Less Sensitivity – Composite fillings don’t contract in heat and cold like metal ones. You’ll experience less sensitivity when enjoying hot or cold foods and drinks.

White fillings are made out of either composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic, or porcelain. We can match the color of these materials to your other teeth so they will look completely natural in your smile. Unlike amalgam (metal) fillings, white fillings don’t contain mercury. So they’re a good choice for patients who prefer to avoid mercury.
Amalgam fillings contain a blend of metals, including mercury. While both the FDA and the American Dental Association say mercury in fillings is safe for most people, some research has linked mercury to adverse health effects. We feel it’s best to play it safe by using composite fillings. Since we can match composite to the color of your tooth, they also look more natural than metal fillings.
After your dentist places your new filling, you should expect it to last for several years without any problems. Composite fillings last an average of about five to seven years, although other factors do come into play, including which tooth has the filling and the types of foods you eat.
