Metal-Free (Tooth-Coloured) Fillings in Banff.
Mercury-free composite fillings that bond to your tooth and blend in seamlessly, for virtually invisible repairs of cavities, chips, and worn enamel.
Metal-Free (Tooth-Coloured) Fillings
The standard in many dental practices today is to use completely metal-free fillings to treat cavities. These "tooth-coloured" fillings have supplanted the amalgam, metallic-looking fillings of the past, many of which contained small levels of mercury.
Tooth-coloured fillings are composed of a durable composite resin material that can more easily blend in with the affected tooth's natural colour, making it virtually unnoticeable. It can be used to fill cavities, replace old fillings, restore broken cusps of teeth, and to replace worn enamel.
The modern standard for fillings.
Tooth-coloured fillings offer several advantages over traditional amalgam fillings, making them the preferred choice for modern dental restorations.
Virtually Invisible
Composite is colour-matched to your teeth so it blends in completely.
Mercury-Free
No mercury or other metals, a safe, biocompatible option for patients of all ages.
Bonds to Tooth Structure
Bonds directly to the tooth, so less of your healthy structure has to be removed during preparation.
Long-Lasting
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, composite fillings typically last 7 to 10 years or longer.
Composite resin can be used to:
- Fill cavities
- Replace old fillings
- Restore broken cusps of teeth
- Replace worn enamel
