When you think of dental fillings, you may conjure up an image silver or gold metal over your pearly whites. In our day and age, however, many types of filling materials are available. Metal free fillings have become popular because of their ability to restore a tooth while blending naturally with the rest of your child’s smile. Composed of tooth-colored composite resin material, metal free fillings can be used to repair cavity-ridden, chipped, broken or cracked teeth.
At Northwest Children's Dentistry, we decide whether metal amalgam or metal free fillings should be used for your child based on aesthetics and the location of the filling. For example, teeth that show up in photographs, such as front teeth, are often better suited for metal free fillings. Our office always aims to use the most modern standards of dentistry in terms of conservation, longevity, and restoration when considering the health of each tooth needing repair.
As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help you understand all aspects of your child's dental care. Feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
