The last thing you want to see when you smile at the mirror are tell-tale signs of old metal dental treatments. With advancements in cosmetic dentistry over the past two decades, patients no longer have to accept metal fillings or other metal-based dental work -- there are modern options available that are metal-free and maintain their natural appearance for a lifetime. These treatments blend in with your teeth, creating a seamless smile.
Benefits of Metal-Free Restorations
For decades, metal was the standard treatment method for dental fillings, crowns, and bridges. However, metal can shrink or expand when exposed to cold or hot elements, causing preventable damage and allowing dangerous bacteria to seep through, which promotes tooth decay.
Cosmetically, the look of metal crowns and bridges with an overlay if porcelain is less appealing than that of all-porcelain, quartz or resin -- materials used in place of metal in modern cosmetic dentistry.
With improvements in materials and bonding agents, metal-free crowns and bridges can be just as durable, if not more so, than metal-based restoration. Your smile will look better without metal fillings or crowns. No one will know you’ve had dental work.
