Metal-Free Restorations

These restorations use materials such as porcelain, composite resin, and zirconia to provide a natural appearance and long-lasting results. Unlike traditional metal-based options, metal-free restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Durham Prosthodontics is proud to offer high-quality, metal-free dental solutions to improve both the function and appearance of your smile.

What Are Metal-Free Restorations?


Metal-free restorations refer to dental treatments that replace or restore damaged teeth without using metal materials. Common examples include:
•  Porcelain crowns and bridges
•  Zirconia crowns
•  Composite resin fillings
•  Porcelain veneers
•  Inlays and onlays

These options prioritize aesthetics and biocompatibility, making them ideal for patients with metal allergies or those seeking a natural-looking smile. They mimic the translucency and texture of natural teeth, providing a discreet and attractive solution for restoring oral health.

The materials used in these restorations are designed to integrate with your natural teeth. Their durability ensures that they stand up to everyday wear, providing a reliable option for both front and back teeth. For patients looking to improve their smile, these restorations can also address cosmetic concerns such as discoloration or uneven teeth.

Benefits of Metal-Free Restorations


Metal-free restorations offer numerous advantages over traditional metal-based alternatives. These benefits include:
•  Natural appearance for a seamless smile
•  Durable materials designed to withstand daily wear
•  Biocompatibility, reducing the risk of allergic reactions
•  Preservation of more natural tooth structure
•  Resistance to staining and discoloration

By choosing metal-free restorations, patients enjoy the confidence of a healthy smile that looks completely natural. These materials also eliminate concerns about metallic taste or visible metal edges, enhancing comfort and aesthetics.

When Are Metal-Free Restorations Recommended?


Metal-free restorations are suitable for various dental concerns, including:
•  Replacing old metal crowns or fillings
•  Restoring decayed or damaged teeth
•  Improving the appearance of stained or misshapen teeth
•  Repairing cracks or fractures
•  Providing a solution for patients with metal allergies

During a consultation, we will evaluate your dental needs to determine the most appropriate restoration for your smile. Whether you need a single tooth restored or a more comprehensive solution, we will tailor the treatment to fit your goals.

The Metal-Free Restoration Process


The process for receiving metal-free restorations typically involves several steps:
•  A thorough examination to assess your oral health and treatment goals.
•  Preparation of the affected tooth, including removal of decay or old materials.
•  Taking digital impressions to create a custom restoration that fits perfectly.
•  Placement of the restoration using advanced bonding techniques.

Some restorations, such as crowns or veneers, may require multiple visits to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance. With our state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that your restorations are durable and blend in naturally with your smile. After placement, the restoration is polished for comfort and functionality.
