Why Choose Metal-Free Fillings?

Composite (white) fillings are a modern, mercury-free alternative to traditional silver fillings. They bond directly to your tooth for long-lasting protection with a more natural appearance.
  • Natural Appearance – Tooth-colored material blends into your smile.

  • Mercury-Free – No metal, no mercury—just safe, biocompatible resin.

  • Preserves Tooth Structure – Requires less drilling than metal fillings.

  • Durable & Strong – Designed to hold up under pressure when chewing.

Our metal-free fillings restore your tooth’s strength and beauty—without compromise.

When Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Used?

  • New Cavities – To repair and seal early tooth decay.

  • Chipped or Worn Teeth – Composite resin is used to rebuild and smooth damaged areas.

How Composite Fillings Compare to Metal Fillings

  • Aesthetics – Composite resin is virtually invisible; metal is not.

  • Bonding Strength – Composite fillings bond to the tooth structure, strengthening it.

  • Less Invasive – Tooth-colored fillings require less drilling, preserving more enamel.

  • Temperature Neutral – Composite doesn’t expand/contract like metal, reducing the risk of cracks over time.

Composite fillings are a modern, reliable solution for long-term protection and natural appearance.
