I had 16 mercury fillings removed and in its place is a combo of zirconia, porcelain and majority bio-ceramic masked composite. Some of the teeth were too far gone so they needed a crown on top of the fillings too.
With the materials listed I’m not sure what the actual filling is made of vs the crown? I think zirconia and porcelain are crowns and the filling is ceramic? I reckon these are safer then mercury , but are they optimal. Are they truly metal free ?
From what I gather they are not and they are ceramics. But I hear rumor of them containing Nano sized aluminum particles . I think I’m just over thinking. Anyway 18k later and it’s in my mouth so too late anyway
