METAL-FREE FILLINGS

Restoring the strength, function, and beauty of your tooth.

SILVER VS TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS

Learn more about our superior restorations.

For many years now, silver fillings have been used to restore decayed teeth. Over time, teeth tend to crack as a result of the expansion and contraction of the silver when exposed to the hot and cold liquids we drink.

These fractures start off small and are difficult to detect. Eventually, the fractures go deeper and cause temperature and pressure sensitivity when biting, or cause large portions of the tooth to break off. In many instances, a root canal procedure becomes necessary to resolve the symptoms. Additionally, it becomes more difficult and costly to restore the tooth.

A more preventative approach is to replace silver fillings with new composite fillings or porcelain-bonded restorations before cracking occurs.

This usually prevents further deterioration of the tooth. Dental composites chemically adhere to the tooth and bind it together restoring strength and integrity. Composites are typically as strong as the original tooth and can be formulated to match your tooth color. You’ll be pleased with how natural they feel alongside your original teeth. Contact Safe Harbor Smiles to know more!

The best dentistry I've ever experienced! I've been seeing Dr. Mehr since he took over for Dr. Pitcher. Every single visit I've had has been tremendous. I've had to go through several intensive procedures and the entire staff is courteous, caring, and professional. Dr. Mehr is one of the kindest medical professionals I have ever met, and his bedside manner is second to none. The dental hygienists are skillful, kind, and patient. Michelle and Linda have always taken wonderful care of me at the front, and the new staff that I've met since the office move have been great as well!I wholeheartedly recommend Safe Harbor Smiles to anyone who will listen, and you'll never go wrong picking them for your dental needs!

The staff and dentist here are very friendly. Service here is quick and professional. I’ve had a very gentle cleaning done here prior to other oral hygienists who were a bit rougher on the cleanings. My hygienist here was very through as well. My first cavity was filled here today and they made sure my comfort was prioritized first which I really appreciated. Dr. Mehr took time to make sure it was not only aesthetically pleasing but functional. I’m looking forward to my next cleaning. Thank you to this staff for your hard work and working through a pandemic! Very happy I came here!

As a rule, I don't look forward to going to the dentist. However, I can enthusiastically say I look forward to going to Safe Harbor Smiles.I am a little biased as I have been a patient at this location since the previous practice, but after being worked on by Dr Mehr I can say I am equally at ease as I was with previous dentists.It's very minor, but my least favorite part of goung to the dentist is the novocaine shot before a filling. Dr Mehr managed to administer this shot without me noticing until it was done, and that is a miracle in itself. Dr Mehr and Mariah made the work they did seem like a breeze even though the work they did was extensive.I retract a previous statement: my LEAST favorite part of going to the dentist is paying for it. I'm uninsured and was intimidated to get help because of the infamous cost of dental work. However, when I expressed this, Michelle at reception helped out so much with payment options that fit into my tiny budget.Can't recommend enough, 5 stars!

I had to have a molar extraction and I was kinda freaked out about the whole process. Dr.Mehr and his staff were very supportive and made it a very comforting experience for me. To my surprise I had zero pain the next day and my wound is healing up nicely. I recommend Safe Harbor Smiles to anyone a bit squeamish about dental work.

I am skeptical of dentists in general because I've had so many bad experiences. I have horrible teeth and Dr. Mehr, his assistants, and office staff are the most amazing people I've met. They make me feel comfortable and safe and are compassionate and knowledgeable. I will never go to another dentist again. I appreciate you all more than you know.

This office always makes me feel so comfortable. They treat me like they have known me forever. Like I am family. Dr. has excellent bedside manner and does a great job at explaining what is going on and giving you options instead of just making you do what he wants. I tried out multiple offices when I moved to Washington before I found this one and they will be my forever office!

Dr. Mehr’s practice was a great dental experience. I hadn’t been to any dentist offices in a few years and was scared to go. I was impressed after my first visit from start to finish how great the staff was, how clean the facility was and how the office as a whole goes above and beyond for their patients. Highly recommend this office for any dental needs.

I’ve gone here for a long time and always have loved the office staff. They are relatable and friendly. Love chatting with them before I go in. Before they switched dentists it was a bit of a train wreck, honestly. The old dentist used to not be so good at doing fillings for me and also wasn’t very professional about things. The new dentist is extremely professional, very friendly, and does things with precision. Thankful for the new switch!And as always have loved every hygienist I get.

The dentist is usually my absolute worst nightmare but after talking to the staff I felt completely relaxed and I'll be returning on a more regular basis. If you get stressed about going to the dentist then you should absolutely try this place out.Forgot to mention how clean and nice the office is. Easy 5 stars from me.

I’ve been coming here since it was Dr. Pitcher’s Practice and there’s a reason I keep coming here. Michelle and Linda get me all set with my appointments and chat with me when I arrive for my appointments. It’s like showing up and seeing friends. Once you pass through the door to the clinic floor I hope you get Angela to take care of you. She’s awesome! She remembers every tooth that is cold sensitive or sensitive around the gums. She is careful to never spray cold water or poke these trouble spots. It takes the stress out of the time in the chair. Dr. Mehr is a friendly professional dentist who takes your concerns to heart and investigates. None of those “don’t worry” scenarios that turn into root canals. I like that he remembers little details about our life and always shakes my hand. They’ve got it down here.

I have been going here for years. The entire staff are great people and take great care to insure the patients comfort and pain free treatment. I have gone to other dental offices do to cheaper insurance. Even though I have cheaper insurance options at my work I choose to pay higher premiums so I can continue to visit this office. The extra cost is worth it for the care I receive here.

The entire staff at Safe Harbor Smiles makes a visit to the dentist an enjoyable affair. Everyone from the front desk to the exam chair are friendly, knowledgeable , and really put you at ease. As someone who initially had major anxiety about dental work, I can't sing their praises enough and will recommend them to friends, family, and perfect strangers. No long waits for appointments, no painful procedures, and you leave with a smile (albeit sometimes lopsided) on your face every time. Dr. Mehr and the rest of the team give quality care every single time.

Thank you to all on the staff for Safe Harbor Smiles! Yesterday I had a difficult root canal on my #30 "Monster" molar. But Dr. Mehr and his Dental Assistant, Jocelyn, did a great 👍 job!! Even though a complicated 4 hour case, I'm impressed by how skilled, professional, careful, and still so cordial Dr. Mehr and Jocelyn are. Your good work is very expensive for an old man like me, although you do it so well that it seems to be worth it, I think.. 😃 And everyone on the staff have been so good to all in my family for well over 20 years taking care of our dental needs. Hygienists Angela and Shullon have cleaned my teeth many times through the years...and always do a great 👍 job too!! And, of course Michelle, Linda, and the other office ladies are very helpful scheduling appointments, coordinating insurance and assisting with billings. The McDonald Clan looks forward to many more years of exceptional dental care from Safe Harbor Smiles! Thanks again..
