Metal-Free Restorations – Canton, TX

Restoring Smiles Without the Metal

What Are Metal-Free Restorations?

In the past, if you suggested restorative dentistry, you might only think of dental crowns and bridges, or a filling, but nowadays, with the advancements in dentistry and technology, there are additional metal-free restorations that are available, including:

• Dental Crowns
• Tooth-Colored Fillings
• Inlays
• Onlays
• Fixed Bridges

All of these are now made from metal-free materials that pose no toxic threat to your body, nor do they release any harmful chemicals. Forget tasting metal in your mouth! With a multitude of available metal-free restorations, dentists can now create a fully restored smile that is healthy and aesthetically pleasing.

What Are the Benefits of Metal-Free Restorations?

If not having a spotlight on your smile isn’t enough to have you talking to your dentist about metal-free restorations, maybe their other added benefits will:

• They’re hypoallergenic: If you’re allergic to metal and have been required to pursue other forms of treatment in the past, metal-free restorations make it possible to forgo other solutions. Whether you need a dental crown, bridge, inlay, onlay, or filling, we can restore your tooth and improve your oral health without you experiencing an allergic reaction.
• They can last a long time: As long as you commit to taking proper care of your metal-free restoration, you can expect to enjoy it for 10 years or more.
• They blend in with your smile: A natural appearance is important to most patients, so with metal-free restorations, you can improve the health of your teeth without compromising your appearance.

What Are the Types of Metal-Free Restorations?

Fortunately, our dentists are able to use metal-free restorations for a variety of treatments, including:

• Dental Crowns: This is also known as a “cap,” which is placed over your natural tooth to protect it from additional decay or damage. Dental crowns in Canton can also be used to hide stains and discoloration or other cosmetic imperfections.
• Inlays & Onlays: When a tooth is damaged too far beyond the help of a filling but not enough to warrant a crown, an inlay or onlay can be used to fix the problem. Created by dental lab technicians, we can bond the piece to your natural tooth, giving you an even, natural-looking smile.
• Bridges: For patients who are missing multiple teeth in a row, a fixed bridge can be created to restore the look of a smile. Using several dental crowns that are fused together, we will use your natural, healthy teeth on either side of the gap as anchors to hold the bridge in place.
• Fillings: Typically, when a patient has a cavity, the recommended treatment is a filling. Using a tooth-colored composite resin, our team can fill and seal the tooth without anyone noticing your dental work.
