What are Metal Free Restorations?
Traditional restorations can be made from a variety of materials, including some that contain mercury. While they are durable, they are very noticeable. Not to mention, they aren’t biocompatible. To try to hide their appearance, many dentists offer porcelain fused-to-metal. Although they look more natural, there are still a few concerns because the inner shell is metal.
Metal-free restorations resolve their disadvantages. They are made completely of all-ceramic material to provide a biocompatible solution that looks natural. Although they aren’t made of metal, they remain equally durable to last for a decade or longer with the right aftercare.
