The Process of Getting Metal-Free Fillings
A simple, comfortable treatment designed for your smile at Palms Dentistry.
At Palms Dentistry, we make your dental work comfortable and stress-free. Whether you’re replacing old amalgam fillings or treating new cavities, Dr. Williams, Dr. Dillon, and Dr. Naguib use a careful procedure to protect your enamel and gums while ensuring natural-looking results.
- Step 1: Gentle preparation Your dentist carefully removes decayed teeth or old mercury fillings using utmost care. With local anesthetic, you’ll stay numb and comfortable throughout the procedure. Your tooth is cleaned and shaped to prepare it for the new filling material.
- Step 2: Composite filling placement A safe composite resin material is applied in layers, bonding to your natural tooth. Each layer is hardened with a special light to ensure durability and strength while preserving as much natural tooth as possible.
- Step 3: Natural finishing Your dentist shapes and polishes the filling to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration that restores proper chewing and protects against future decay or further damage.
Your smile deserves the best care—and that means durable, natural-looking results. With tooth-colored restorations at our Simpsonville or Greenville-Mauldin office, you’ll enjoy healthy teeth, reduced sensitivity, and confidence in your smile.
