Although metal is undeniably a durable material, it can make the teeth appear unsightly. The amalgam filling is like an indicator that points to the portion of a tooth that has not received adequate care. Thankfully, with the advancements in dentistry, there is now a better option that many people would find ideal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-153 size-full\" title=\"Dental Checkup\" src=\"https:\/\/theholisticdentalcenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/dentist-white-fillings.jpg\" alt=\"Dental Checkup\" width=\"425\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theholisticdentalcenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/dentist-white-fillings.jpg 425w, https:\/\/theholisticdentalcenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/dentist-white-fillings-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metal-free fillings at The Holistic Dental Center, or also known as composite resin fillings, is the answer. It is a filling material designed to resemble the color of the natural teeth. This type of treatment offers to be a better alternative to amalgam that was previously used. Moreover, patients now do not have to settle to dental crowns to have a natural-looking restoration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is a Metal-Free Filling?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a mixture of glass and tooth-colored plastic used to restore the portion of a tooth affected by decay. Composite resin does not merely serve as a restoration; it offers aesthetically pleasing results making it a great choice for patients who always want to look their best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How are fillings placed?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After carefully removing any affected portion of the tooth, the composite resin material will be applied by layers. A special type of light may often be used to hasten the hardening of the fillings. The dentist would mold the material to resemble the surrounding natural structures properly for a better result. Once the ideal shape is achieved, the composite resin will be polished to prevent it from staining as well as its early wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What are the benefits of Metal-Free Fillings?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fillings are directly bonded on the teeth instead of being created in an off-site laboratory.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the help of a special light, the material used of the filling hardens in seconds!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only does it restore the decayed portion of a tooth, but it can also repair chips or cracks and make the teeth appear brighter.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients are less likely to experience tooth sensitivity compared to amalgam fillings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case a composite filling is damaged, the dentist can easily replace it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible for people with existing amalgam fillings to switch to metal-free option. The dentist can remove and replace the old filling with composite resin materials.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restore and strengthen your teeth through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theholisticdentalcenter.com\/metal-free-fillings.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metal-Free Fillings in Spokane, WA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
