Holistic and biological dentists use biocompatible fillings. They work with the body, not against it. They are non-reactive materials. They do not cause allergies, biodegradation, or contain potential carcinogens.
Our biocompatible filling materials are tooth-coloured, but more importantly, they are:
- Non-toxic
- Free from BPA and Bis-GMA
- Fluoride-free
- Metal-free
- Mercury-free
If you are worried about the materials in your mouth, we offer compatibility testing. This is the next level to prevent and potential adverse reactions to the dental materials that we use.
Composite bonding is a popular cosmetic dental treatment. It is used to improve the shape, color, and appearance of patients’ teeth. It uses the same resin material used for white fillings, and is most frequently used on the front teeth – those that show when you smile.
The materials for bonding dentistry have advanced in recent years. This means composite bonding can hide small imperfections in the front teeth. It can also close small gaps and hide slight tooth rotations. And, it does this without damaging your teeth.
Composite bonding is a pain-free experience that requires, in most cases, just one visit to the practice. Your dentist will choose a shade of resin that closely matches your teeth. The results will look natural.
This is how the treatment works:
- Your dentist picks a shade of resin that matches the natural colour of your teeth.
- The resin is carefully applied to your teeth, with no need for any work or damage to them.
- Your dentist then carefully shapes and smooths the resin to hide any imperfections, for a result that looks entirely natural.
- Once the resin has been shaped, it is hardened very quickly with the help of a special light.
Composite bonding treatment doesn’t last as long as veneers, however, many patients find it is a great value. It can also be repeated and touched up with no damage to your teeth.
Life Benefits
- A natural, healthy smile that you are proud to show off.
