metal free restoration
Metal Free Fillings
At Metal-Free Dentist, we choose fluoride-free, mercury-free, metal-free and ceramic-based restorative materials like Biodentine and Admira Fusion to support biological compatibility and patient well-being. Our goal is to provide strong, aesthetic, long-lasting cavity solutions without metal or fluoride — while maintaining harmony with whole-body health principles.
BIODENTINE
Biodentine is a bioactive dentine substitute made primarily from mineral compounds including tricalcium silicate, calcium carbonate and zirconium oxide. It is designed to support the tooth’s natural repair process and stimulate the formation of healthy dentine, making it a highly compatible choice for biological restorations.
Importantly, Biodentine does not contain fluoride. Its benefits come from its alkalising effect and calcium ion release, which help create an environment that discourages bacterial activity and promotes healing from within — without relying on added chemicals such as fluoride.
Biodentine has become one of the most trusted biological restoration materials worldwide, offering a safe alternative for patients who want repair materials that work with the tooth, rather than introducing metals or fluoride-based compounds.
ADMIRA FUSION
We prioritise restorative materials that are metal-free, mercury-free, fluoride-free and free from harmful chemical additives. The ceramic-based filling material Admira Fusion is formulated by the manufacturer to be BPA-free and does not intentionally contain BPA-derived monomers such as Bis-GMA or TEGDMA, which are sometimes found in conventional dental composites
In practical clinical use, Admira Fusion remains one of the safest, most biocompatible composite alternatives for patients seeking non-toxic, holistic dental fillings. Its benefits come from its ceramic-based structure, excellent seal, durability, and biological compatibility, not from fluoride or synthetic plastic resin chemistry.

Metal Free Crowns
We believe porcelain and zirconia crowns are not only superior in terms of biocompatibility, but they are also far superior cosmetically too.
The gum health around all porcelain and zirconia crowns is generally much better than a metal-containing crown. With modern materials, the tooth reduction is less than compared to a porcelain bonded to a metal support crown.
What’s involved?
If a tooth already has a crown, we will safely remove it .
If a tooth is extensively broken down, it may be impossible to restore it back to health with just a filling. In these situations, a laboratory made crown or inlay/onlay may be recommended.
Any decay is removed from the tooth, and the tooth is built up and strengthened with composite or glass ionomer (“core build”).
The tooth is shaped and polished, and an impression or scan is made, which is sent to the laboratory for a crown to be made.
A temporary crown is placed onto the tooth between visits.
Metal free Inlays and Onlays
Porcelain can be used as a filling material instead of composite. This type of restoration is called a inlay/onlay and is made by a dental technician. The restorations are stronger and last longer than composite fillings.
We may recommend this when a tooth is cracked or has a very large filling, but doesn’t require a crown.
Metal free Bridges
A dental bridge can be used to replace one or more missing teeth.
It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are supported by neighbouring natural teeth or dental implants. The natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap serve as anchors for the bridge.
A Dental bridge can be made from Porcelain or Zirconia. They are custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of the surrounding natural teeth, providing a natural appearance.
A dental bridge not only restores the appearance of a complete smile but also helps to improve chewing and speaking abilities, maintain facial structure, prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position, and distribute biting forces evenly across the dental arch.
