As part of our commitment to your oral health, Dr. Darren Chugg offers metal-free dentistry to provide safe, durable and aesthetically pleasing dental solutions. Traditional restorations often contain metal, which can pose certain health concerns and create noticeable differences in your smile. By using biocompatible, tooth-colored materials, we ensure that your restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while maintaining your overall wellbeing.
Natural-Looking Restorations For a Seamless Smile
Metal-free dentistry eliminates the use of silver amalgam fillings, metal crowns and other traditional materials that may affect the appearance of your smile. Instead, we use composite resin for fillings and high-quality porcelain or ceramic for crowns, bridges and other restorations. These materials are custom-shaded to match your teeth, providing a natural and beautiful result that restores both function and aesthetics.
A Safer & More Comfortable Choice
One of the benefits of metal-free dentistry is the reduced risk of adverse reactions. Some patients experience allergies or sensitivities to metals used in traditional restorations. By opting for nonmetallic alternatives, you eliminate potential health concerns while enjoying restorations that are more compatible with your body. Additionally, metal-free materials do not conduct temperature like metal does, helping to minimize sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks.
Stronger, More Protective Restorations
Modern dental materials are designed to not only mimic the appearance of natural teeth but also provide superior strength and durability. Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, reinforcing weakened areas and preventing further decay. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are resistant to wear and staining, ensuring that your restorations last for many years with proper care.
Amalgam Removal For a Healthier Smile
If you currently have silver amalgam fillings, we offer safe removal and replacement with tooth-colored composite restorations. Many patients choose to replace metal fillings for aesthetic reasons, while others prefer to eliminate the presence of metal in their mouths altogether. Our dentist and team follow strict safety protocols during the removal process to protect your health and provide a smooth transition to metal-free restorations.
