Metal-free dentistry replaces traditional metal-based restorations — amalgam fillings, metal crowns, PFM bridges — with ceramic, zirconia and composite alternatives. These materials are biologically inert, meaning they do not react with the body, cause no grey discolouration of gum tissue and contain no mercury. At Dentist & Dentist, all new restorations are metal-free as standard.
Existing metalwork is evaluated for condition, integrity and aesthetic impact. Removal is only recommended when clinically indicated.
Old amalgam or metal restorations are removed following safe protocols to minimise exposure to metal particles.
Teeth are restored with tooth-coloured composite, ceramic inlays, or zirconia crowns — matched precisely to your natural teeth.
Restorations are polished to a smooth, stain-resistant finish.
Patients with old amalgam fillings or metal crowns they want replaced
Those with metal sensitivities or allergies
Anyone prioritising aesthetics — no dark fillings, no grey gum lines
Patients wanting a completely biologically clean restoration approach
Not necessarily. Stable metal restorations with no cracks or decay underneath do not need immediate removal. Dr. Omar will advise based on the condition of each restoration.
Yes, when done with proper protocol — rubber dam, high-speed evacuation and sectional removal to minimise mercury vapour. Dr. Omar follows these protocols.
Modern ceramic composite materials are highly durable and bond directly to tooth structure — often making the tooth stronger than a metal filling, which requires more removal of natural tooth.
Entirely metal-free restorations using the latest ceramic and zirconia materials — better aesthetics, better biocompatibility, better outcomes.
