Refresh Your Smile With Metal-Free Fillings

At Sea Isle Smiles, we know that metal-free fillings can be an ideal way to protect and restore teeth damaged by decay. Also known as composite or “white” fillings, this material blends discreetly with surrounding teeth for a natural-looking finish.

What Are Metal-Free Fillings?

Our dentist in Sea Isle City, NJ, offers metal-free fillings as a discreet and effective treatment for repairing cavities, improving the presentation of your smile, and preventing further damage and decay. Created from tooth-colored composite material, these fillings match the rest of your teeth flawlessly, allowing you to smile confidently and easily.

These fillings are biocompatible and have been found to be less likely to initiate allergies or trigger sensitivity than metal amalgam fillings. This material can also be used to fill unwanted gaps between teeth, to mask stains and discolorations, and more.

How Are They Applied?

First, our dentist will prepare your tooth area using a numbing solution and local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Then, the decayed portion of the tooth will be removed, and the tooth will be cleaned and prepared for the filling. A bonding agent is applied to prepare the tooth's surface and ensure a strong bond between the composite material and your tooth. The material is then applied in layers and is sculpted to restore its function and appearance. The material is then hardened before a final shaping.
