Pediatric Dental Glossary of Terms - Metal Free Fillings

Metal-Free FillingsIt is not simply because metal free fillings are more attractive (they certainly are!) but these types of fillings also prevent the often experienced side effects of metal fillings like toothaches and broken teeth. Metal free fillings intercept the potential of fracture before a patient experiences the symptoms of hot/cold sensitivity and biting pain. This makes it more possible to preserve the remaining healthy tooth structure.

By using this proactive rather than reactive approach to amalgam replacement, many of our patients are happy to report having had a superior experience in having metal free fillings done while eliminating unnecessary pain.

At Children's Dental Health Associates, P.C., our use of metal free fillings, as part of our commitment to provide our patients with the very latest tools in pediatric dentistry, enables us to deliver a better structural and aesthetic result in an increasingly comfortable manner.

To re-cap, the advantages of Metal free fillings are:

  • Less sensitive to heat and cold
  • Stronger bonding to prevent future fractures
  • Better looking
  • Less susceptibility to biting pain
  • No slow release of metal toxins into the body (Mercury, Silver, Copper etc)
