Metal-Free Fillings

Have you ever seen a picture of a high-profile celebrity with his or her mouth open, showing a mouth full of metal? Dark metal amalgam fillings can make otherwise white teeth look dark. Of the most concern, however, is the fact that metal fillings can damage your teeth.

Amalgam fillings expand with heat and contract with cold. This movement weakens the tooth wall, leading to fractures and allowing bacteria to enter and cause decay. Over time, an amalgam filling will crumble, which is why most amalgam fillings should be replaced after 7-10 years.

Amalgams also contain mercury that can have negative long-term health effects. Because non-metal, tooth-colored restorations are chemically bonded to your tooth, they restore up to 97% of its original strength. Tooth-colored restorations are safer, more attractive, and a healthier alternative to metal. They will conservatively restore the strength to your teeth and preserve the natural beauty of your smile.
