Metal-Free Fillings — a Better Kent Dentistry Option

Why opt to remove a cavity, only to replace it with an even darker metallic substance known to cause major future cracking issues inside your repaired teeth? Dr. Williams, provides Kent area dentistry that features metal-free fillings, which are rapidly becoming the preferred option for patients who require the removal of minor to moderate cavities.

Our composite material allows for a very conservative procedure, bonding to your teeth without any concern for future temperature change that causes amalgam fillings to expand and create significant cracks in your teeth. Our metal-free fillings also protect your teeth from future bacteria by completely sealing your tooth.

In our Tacoma area dentist office, if we detect any gum or tooth issues at an early stage, we can also use a special in-office fluoride treatment (combined with a high-fluoride toothpaste and a prescription take-home fluoride rinse, if necessary) to re-mineralize the area and avoid drilling altogether.

Do you need to replace a few old metal fillings? Once you see and feel the difference of non-metals, you’ll never go back. Call Dr. Brian Williams for a complimentary initial exam.

A Single Visit Restores Your Oral Health

Dental technology has advanced to the point where amalgam offers no real advantages over non-metal acrylics like ceramic and porcelain. Since the modern materials used by our Kent dentistry practice are so much more advanced, there’s simply no good reason to use amalgam anymore. It is effectively obsolete.

Non-metals like acrylic, ceramic and porcelain are superior to amalgams in several important ways:

• Better aesthetics — you may not be able to tell the difference between your natural tooth color and your new metal-free filling.
• Decreased decay — new materials and powerful sealants maximize your protection against future tooth decay.
• Stability and immobility — unlike metal, non-metals won’t expand or contract inside your mouth.

If you want superior quality, maximum durability and long-lasting beauty, call our Kent area dentistry office. Schedule an initial consultation with Brian Williams, DDS and tell him that you appreciate his commitment to metal-free fillings.
