What Are Metal-Free Restorations?

You may be familiar with the concept of dental restorations made out of dark-colored metal being used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Metal-free restorations can fulfill the same function, but they are made out of materials that can closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel, with porcelain and composite resin being particularly common examples.

Each metal-free restoration is carefully customized in order to match the appearance of your natural teeth as closely as possible. The size, color, and shape of the restoration can all be carefully personalized according to the patient’s needs.

Types of Metal-Free Restorations

The kind of metal-free restoration you need depends on what type of dental issue you’re suffering from. Here’s a quick look at your options:

Dental Crowns: A crown can be used to completely cover a tooth, keeping it safe from further damage while also strengthening it. At our practice, we can provide crowns made out of porcelain, which can mimic the color and light-reflecting properties of enamel.
Tooth-Colored Fillings: Small cavities can often be treated with fillings. Our team offers tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin; not only is this material discreet, but it also allows us to preserve more of the tooth’s natural structure.
Dental Bridges: If you have lost a tooth or multiple consecutive teeth, a dental bridge can fill in the empty space. Dental bridges can be made out of the same materials as dental crowns.

Benefits of Metal-Free Restorations

As you can probably imagine, many patients nowadays prefer metal-free restorations over traditional ones. There are several advantages that can make a metal-free restoration well worth the investment:

A metal-free restoration can be made to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, so you don’t have to worry about it drawing attention for the wrong reasons.
In addition to being beautiful, metal-free restorations are also very durable, and they can last for quite a while if they are cared for properly.
A metal-free restoration can be a great alternative for patients with metal allergies.
Since metal-free restorations don’t contain any mercury, they are safer for your overall health.
