Preserve Natural Teeth and Support Optimal Dental Health with Non-Toxic Dental Fillings

Non Toxic Dental Fillings in Hamilton ON Area

Years back, metal fillings were the only option for treating cavities. While silver-coloured fillings work, they aren’t aesthetically appealing and pose safety concerns to users. Over the years, dental fillings have come a long way. Today, you can enjoy composite (non-metal) fillings, which are more attractive and safer than their metal counterparts.

Want to overcome dental cavities in Hamilton, Ontario? Please schedule an appointment with Dentistry on Parkdale for composite dental fillings.

Why You May Need a Dental Filling

Most people assume dental fillings are only used to treat cavities. While this is true, dental fillings have other uses in dentistry. Your dentist may recommend a dental filling to:

  • Repair minor tooth damage
  • Aesthetically improve a discoloured tooth
  • Restore a tooth after the gradual loss of its structure


If you need a dental filling, only consider toxin-free restorations. It doesn’t make sense to fix one problem only to introduce another. Not sure what’s safe for your cavity treatment? Visit our dental clinic for safe yet effective dental restorations.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Metal fillings are made of tin, silver, copper, and about 50% mercury. On the other hand, composite fillings are composed of a mixture of BPA-free plastic fibre and glass. Dentists use composite fillings to treat cavities and improve the appearance of your teeth.

Dr. Karen Ho and other like-minded dentists prefer composite fillings because they offer many benefits, including:

  • They are natural-looking: Composite resin can be colour-matched with your natural enamel.This ensures your treated tooth isn’t visible in your mouth when smiling or talking. This way, you can open your mouth confidently because no one will notice you ever had tooth decay.
  • They are safe: Composite fillings have no known safety concerns, unlike amalgam fillings known to leak mercury vapours into your body. Besides, composite fillings don’t change in size when temperatures change.
  • Conservative: Composite resin is directly bonded to your tooth like an adhesive. The dentist only removes a small portion of the decayed tooth, preserving much of the tooth.

At Dentistry on Parkdale, we believe what you put in your mouth can have lasting effects on your well-being. That’s why we offer non-toxic fillings to safeguard your health. Want to win the battle against cavities in Hamilton, Ontario? Please dial 905-547-4940 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Karen Ho.
