Metal-Free Restorations in Cypress, TX

Different Types Of Metal-Free Restorations in Cypress, TX

Metal-free restorations are the latest cosmetic dental treatment for restoring damaged or decayed teeth. Unlike traditional metal-based restorations, such as amalgam fillings or metal crowns, our Cypress, TX, practice offers metal-free restorations that are made of tooth-colored materials. They blend in perfectly with your natural teeth, giving a more lifelike appearance to your smile.

They have various types, depending on the extent and location of the damage, such as:

• Tooth-colored fillings: These are made of composite resin, a mixture of plastic and glass, that blends with the natural shade of your teeth. They require minimal preparation, and we can use them to fix chips, cracks, or small cavities.
• Porcelain crowns: Also called tooth caps, they cover the entire visible part of your tooth. Porcelain crowns mimic the natural translucency and color of your teeth. They are strong, durable, and resistant to stains.
• Porcelain bridges: These are fixed prosthetic devices that replace one or more missing teeth. Porcelain bridges can restore the function and appearance of your smile and prevent the shifting of your remaining teeth.
• Inlays and onlays: These restorations repair teeth that have moderate damage but do not require extensive tooth prep for crowns. They are made of porcelain or composite resin that match the shade of your teeth, enhancing your smile.
