DR. MIKE HENRICKSON: Metal free dentistry is for everybody today in the dental marketplace. What we see in our office is about one fractured tooth from teeth that have metal fillings or metal restorations in our office every single day. What we recommend is not placing silver fillings. One of the things we can do for our patients is we can restore these teeth using white colored fillings, which are composite fillings, or we can restore these teeth with porcelain.
What we find is in virtually every case, these teeth don’t end up getting decay underneath them. They don’t fracture. The patients are much happier. And the teeth look fantastic. Some of these patients go to other dentists and they don’t even notice that these teeth have been restored.
They look fantastic. The patients feel fantastic about it. And they’re not coming back in with teeth that are fractured, with teeth that have decay underneath them. It’s one of the best things that we can do for people.
