Advancements in Metal-Free Dentistry at Our Poway Dental Office

Recent studies have focused on the safety concerns associated with mercury/amalgam fillings and other traditional metal-based dental materials.

Mercury is known for its toxicity, and there’s a risk that mercury from amalgam fillings can seep into the body, posing significant health risks. At our Poway dental office, we offer innovative solutions with metal-free dentistry to address these concerns.

Embracing Biocompatible Dental Materials

Extensive research supports the use of ceramic-based materials in dentistry due to their high compatibility with human biology. These ceramics are not only safer than their metal counterparts but also provide aesthetic benefits by blending seamlessly with natural teeth, ensuring that dental restorations are inconspicuous.

“After experiencing severe tooth pain, I contacted the office and was promptly given an appointment on the same day. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the dentist was both professional and reassuring. The visit was quick and efficient, and I am definitely planning to return for further dental care,” shares Karen K., a satisfied patient.

Exploring the Versatility of Metal-Free Dentistry

Our Poway dental clinic is at the forefront of adopting metal-free dental practices. From ceramic fillings that replace outdated mercury fillings to advanced Invisalign technology for straightening teeth without metal braces, we provide a range of metal-free options. Even our dental implants are available in zirconia instead of traditional titanium, offering both aesthetic and biocompatibility benefits.

Renew Your Smile by Replacing Old Fillings

Many patients at our Poway office have opted to replace their old mercury fillings with modern ceramic ones. These new fillings not only enhance the appearance of your smile with their color-matched properties but are also safer and more biocompatible.

A popular approach is to replace one or two fillings during each regular six-month check-up, gradually updating your dental work to the latest standards.
