Metal-Free Fillings for Grapevine Smiles

Getting a filling is no longer a threat to a beautiful smile! Metal-free fillings offer Grapevine patients the strength of a dental restoration, with a tooth-colored shade that will blend right in.

Older filling materials were metal, containing mercury and other materials. To patch an area of decay, the dentist needed to remove more than the damaged surface, to make room to “pack” the metal onto the tooth. Then, once in place the metal expands and contracts with temperature changes, which can eventually harm the tooth.

Metal-free fillings from Grapevine dentist, Dr. Martin work differently. They require less tooth surface removal – only the decay needs to be cleared to make room for the filling. Metal-free fillings are made of composite resins, which adhere directly to the tooth surface. They are very strong and long-lasting, and maintain a natural looking white smile.
