If you have an aching tooth that needs a filling, or one that has become damaged, then we can help. Not only that, but we can offer safe and metal-free dental work that is appropriate for patients of all ages! In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist discusses our holistic and metal-free dental work.
When You Need Metal-Free Dental Work
When should you see our team for treatment? We urge families in our community to see our team every six months for a checkup, which allows us to examine the smile with advanced digital imaging, so we can catch problems in their earliest stages, often before you experience painful symptoms. But if you begin to experience a toothache, this could mean a cavity or possibly an infection that needs attention. Likewise, if you damage a tooth, even a minor chip or crack could mean painful complications. If a tooth is lost, you should also see us right away! We can offer help with our metal-free dental work.
Fillings and Crowns
If we find out you have a cavity, we could potentially treat the issue in one visit with a filling. Our team can remove the decay comfortably and provide the natural-looking composite resin to fill the decayed portion. This material bonds with the tooth and offers a lifelike appearance. This also reduces the risk of future damage, as the material doesn’t expand or contract like metal restorations.
If you have damaged or more severe decay, we could offer a crown that caps the tooth. Again, we will craft them from a lifelike material that contains no metal, such as porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or even zirconia.
Bridges and Dentures
What if you have lost a tooth? Or what if you have lost most or all of them? If you have minor tooth loss, a gap of one to three missing teeth in a row. We can create a metal-free prosthetic known as a bridge, with crowns on each end that we connect to teeth on each side of the gap to secure the new teeth firmly in place for years to come.
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, we can create a custom denture that is held in place with suction or adhesive, so you can enjoy a complete smile that looks natural and ensures your ability to enjoy your foods again and enable you to speak clearly once more.
If you have any questions about our metal-free dental work, then reach out to our team today to learn more. We want to help you smile with confidence, and enjoy holistic and safe treatments along the way.
