The Benefits of Metal-Free Fillings in Raleigh, NC

Here are just a few reasons why our dental patients love metal-free fillings.

Cosmetic Appeal

Made with a tooth-colored composite resin material, metal-free fillings closely resemble natural teeth. It’s perfect for front teeth and helps you smile with confidence.

Strong Bonding for Durability

These fillings use a strong bonding agent to fuse tightly to the tooth’s surface, protecting the healthy structure and reducing the chance of further damage.

Safe, Mercury-Free Option

Unlike old silver mercury fillings, metal-free materials are safe and biocompatible, supporting your oral health without unnecessary risks.

Quick and Easy Procedure

Filling cavities with composite resin is a fast and efficient process. Using a blue wave curing light, Dr. Throop can restore your teeth in one comfortable visit.

Minimally Invasive Treatment

Metal-free fillings require less removal of your natural tooth structure compared to traditional options, preserving more of your original tooth and supporting long-term health.

Reduced Sensitivity

Composite materials insulate your teeth better than metal, helping reduce sensitivity to heat and cold after treatment—so you can enjoy your favorite foods comfortably.
