What Is Metal-Free Dentistry?
Metal-free dentistry uses nonmetal dental materials when appropriate. In pediatric care, this may include tooth-colored fillings, tooth-colored crowns or other restorative materials selected to repair and protect teeth while blending more naturally with the smile.
Metal-free dentistry often fits within a broader holistic dental philosophy. Material choice matters, but so do prevention, diet, home care, oral habits and early diagnosis. Our pediatric dentist focuses on protecting healthy tooth structure whenever possible.
Metal-Free Restorative Options
Metal-Free Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities while blending with the natural tooth, commonly used when decay is small to moderate.
Tooth-Colored Crowns
When a baby tooth is too damaged for a filling, a tooth-colored crown helps protect the remaining structure until it falls out naturally.

Tooth-colored crowns can be a good option in select cases. Dr. Daghlian will recommend the crown type based on the tooth, bite and amount of damage.
Not always. Some situations require specific materials for strength, durability or safety. Our pediatric dentist will explain the best option for your child.
