White fillings are basically what people are using now. People want their teeth to look like teeth. They don’t want their teeth to look like black in the back. So, some of these fillings, most are white fillings. Do we do silver fillings if someone requests a silver filling? Yeah, we can still do a silver filling. That’s the procedure right now. And like I said, it’s changed over the years, but it’s a wonderful procedure. It lasts. And like any procedure, if you maintain it, it’s going to last longer. So come in. We offer a complimentary exam. We can help you out and at least tell you if this is something that you want to have done.
“20+ years later….I went to Dr Zirakian in my 20’s and he replaced multiple childhood silver fillings (a couple deep ones) and gave me a root canal. I unfortunately moved away and see a different dentist now, also needed oral surgery in the meantime and they are all amazed at the perfect work he did, which is still perfect 20+ years later. Great bedside manner, gentle and most importantly – strong and sustainable dentistry.” Sonja S.
“I haven’t been to a dentist in years! And I had to have an emergency visit which is leading me to a surgeon unfortunately. But Dr. Zirakian is awesome! And was able to see me on short notice! Really down to earth and knows what he’s doing! The office is really clean and receptionist Melissa was very helpful and friendly!” Joey B.
”From the office staff to the hygienist to the dentist all are some one I look forward to seeing. Each are friendly, courteous, and informative making the care they all give outstanding. I don’t live in town but they surely make the trip worth while.” Eloise P.
