What are the advantages of metal-free fillings?

In addition to being more attractive, metal-free fillings prevent the side effects experienced with metal fillings. This includes biting pain, sensitivity to hot/cold foods. It also preserves tooth structure, and unlike metal fillings, composite fillings are virtually undetectable to the naked eye. Taking a proactive approach to metal filling replacement helps to eliminate unnecessary pain. Our use of composite fillings is part of our commitment to providing our patients with the latest and best pediatric dentistry treatment.
