If you are concerned about the use of toxic mercury fillings, find another dentist! The girl at the desk assured me before I made an appointment that I could have my choice of fillings; I would just need to tell the hygienest. At my daughter's checkup, I told the hygienest that I did not want any silver fillings being used. She said that was okay and wrote it in her chart. When I brought my daughter for subsequent visits, I ONCE AGAIN reminded the hygienest about NO MERCURY FILLINGS. So guess what. Yesterday, the dentist proceeded to fill a tooth with a silver filling. After the fact, he said it was because my daughter wasn't opening her mouth wide enough and he couldn't get it dry enough. Today when I talked to the girl at the desk, she said it was because my daughter was coughing too much. I wish Grand Valley had been honest and upfront with me about the fact that they do not have the expertise, nor the experience in working with the tooth colored fillings. They deceived me!
