Non-Metal Fillings

At our Honesdale dental office, we never use metal for cavity repair. Metal expands and contracts when exposed to variations in temperature, a process that can cause teeth to crack over time and create spaces where bacteria can cause further decay. Dr. Rogers uses only natural-looking porcelain and composite resins for non-metal fillings that are attractive, strong, and healthy.

DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection allows us to find small, hidden cavities that can't be detected manually or with X-rays. It also alerts us to areas of demineralization, the precursor to tooth decay. By finding problem areas early, we can place conservative, small non-metal fillings that will preserve your tooth structure and possibly prevent the need for crowns or root canal therapy. DIAGNOdent is also more comfortable than traditional probing. Learn more about DIAGNOdent in our patient library.
