What Are Metal-Free Restorations?

Metal-free restorations are tooth-colored dental crowns, fillings, bridges, inlays, and onlays, that restore affected teeth without calling attention to the treatment. In fact, the ceramic, zirconia, and composite resin used flawlessly mimics enamel, even down to the way it reflects light! So, if you have tooth decay or a cavity, our dentist in Greeley can provide you the treatment you need without compromising your beautiful smile.

What Are the Benefits of Metal-Free Restorations?

Decades prior, metal fillings and crowns were the go-to options for fixing decayed or damaged teeth. However, the unsightly, dark spots left behind made patients feel self-conscious about their smile and laugh. The good news is that metal-free alternatives can:

Preserve more of the original tooth’s structure.
Last 10+ years with proper care.
Help patients who are allergic to metal since they are composed of hypoallergenic materials.
Deliver natural-looking results.

What Are the Types of Metal-Free Restorations?

Depending on the dental concern at hand, Dr. Cure and Dr. Smith can restore the structure and function of your tooth with several metal-free restorations.

Enamel-colored dental crowns – If your tooth has decayed or been injured, a tooth-shaped cap (known as a crown) can be used to protect it from sustaining further damage.
Virtually undetectable fillings – When a cavity is detected, a filling isn’t far behind. However, the team at Greeley Complete Dentistry can effectively treat your cavity with a tooth-colored filling material so people won’t notice your dental work!
Flawless dental bridges – If you are missing a few teeth in a row, Dr. Cure and Dr. Smith can combine several crowns to make a bridge. This custom restoration will literally bridge the gap between your teeth, effectively restoring your smile.
Unnoticeable inlays and onlays – When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not yet in need of a crown, inlays and onlays can be used. While inlays fit within the tiny points of the back of the tooth, onlays are bonded to the top of one or more of the cusps.
