The Benefits of Metal-Free Dentistry
While metal restorations are effective, they contain trace amounts of mercury that can make them unsafe for young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with metal allergies. They can also change shape with time and temperature, increasing the risk of further decay or reinfection. Finally, they stand out against your smile, and you may feel self-conscious about them. Our team wants to offer results that look natural and inspire confidence. Bur we also want to place crowns and fillings that are safe for patients of all ages!
Composite Resin Fillings
Instead of metal, we place composite resin dental fillings. Made from a unique blend of glass-like and acrylic-like particles, this material is biocompatible and bonds with the tooth, offering long-lasing restoration that is safe for all patients. Placement only takes one visit, and stops the pain of a cavity and prevents the onset of an infection. In addition, we can use the same material in a bonding procedure to mask or correct common cosmetic imperfections in only one visit. If you have a cavity or damage too severe for a filling, then we can offer same-day crowns made from ceramic, which looks natural and is completely metal-free.
Ozone Therapy
We want to offer noninvasive solutions for common oral health issues. With Ozone Therapy, we deliver oxygen directly to various portions of your smile. The oxygen then destroys harmful oral bacteria, while leaving good bacteria in place, so your smile’s biome remains healthy and intact. We could use this instead of a root canal to destroy harmful bacteria and protect the tooth from painful symptoms and being lost. The same procedure can also aid in treating gum disease, destroying disease-causing bacteria to help manage the disease and avoid tooth loss.
If you have any questions about our holistic and metal-free approach to dental care, or if you would like to schedule an appointment with our team, then reach out to our office today. We look forward to helping you smile with confidence and enjoy good oral health.
