What is a Metal-Free Filling?
The material in metal-free fillings is made from glass and plastic so there are no harmful metal additives like mercury.
For a long time, you could only choose a metal filling, a metal crown, or other metal dental prostheses. Problems with metal-based treatments included potential damage to the tooth and discoloration. The metal can expand and change shape due to things such as temperature. These shifts inside your mouth can damage your tooth because bacteria move into new spaces and allows decay to take root.
“Amazing front office staff! Very helpful, courteous and professional. When I made my appointment I received a call stating there was an issue with my insurance and Jessie was just so helpful. It was resolved and everything worked out fine. ” – Tim R.
Benefits of Metal-free Dentistry
Strength and Restoration
The two main benefits of metal-free dentistry are strength and restoration. Composite resin fillings are more durable than metal and do not expand with a change in temperature and therefore last longer. The restoration benefit is having a composite filling that is as close to the original teeth as possible using the latest dental technology.
Advanced Treatment
When your dentist removes part of the tooth structure, chipping and fracturing can occur, which can damage your tooth. At Desert Sky Dental, we believe in using the most advanced treatment available and keep your teeth as safe and healthy as possible.
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings alleviate concerns with metal fillings. The health of your tooth is also preserved because the composite filling blends in with an adhesive and is a pleasing white color. There is no need to remove the existing structure and that helps keep the tooth healthy and strong.
