Why Choose Metal-Free Fillings?

Unlike silver (amalgam) fillings, tooth-colored fillings are made of a composite resin that bonds directly to your tooth structure—giving you a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
  • Natural Appearance – Blends in with your tooth color for a seamless look.

  • No Mercury or Metal – Composite material is free from metal and mercury for a safer, modern option.

  • Preserves Tooth Structure – Requires less drilling than metal fillings, helping keep more of your natural tooth intact.

  • Strong & Durable – Designed to withstand daily biting and chewing forces.

Metal-free fillings are a healthier, more attractive way to restore your teeth.

How Composite Fillings Compare to Metal Fillings

  • Appearance – Composite fillings are tooth-colored; metal fillings are silver and more visible.

  • Bonding – Metal-free fillings bond directly to your tooth, providing added strength and support.

  • Preservation – Less tooth structure needs to be removed for a composite filling.

  • Safety – Composite resin contains no mercury and poses less risk of temperature sensitivity.

For many patients, tooth-colored fillings offer a more modern, comfortable, and aesthetic solution.
