Non Metal White Fillings
Mercury-free and Amalgam-free dentistry
In today's modern age, it's essential to avoid quick fixes that could lead to long-term financial and health issues. When it comes to dental fillings, choosing non-metal white fillings is the wisest option.
Metal fillings can pose serious health risks by increasing the levels of mercury and other metals in your body. Studies indicate that about half of the average Canadian's daily mercury intake comes from these fillings. Additionally, metal fillings can deteriorate over time, potentially causing cavities.
Instead, opt for non-metal white dental fillings. These fillings not only preserve your facial aesthetics with their natural appearance but also support your overall health. They provide a radiant and natural-looking smile while minimizing health risks associated with metal fillings.
What are Non-Metal White Fillings?
Non-metal white dental fillings are at the forefront of patient-focused dentistry. Unlike traditional options containing mercury and amalgam, these fillings utilize materials like white resin, plastic, or porcelain.
These advanced fillings are both secure and aesthetically pleasing. Your dentist combines ceramic and non-toxic plastic materials to enhance your oral health while improving the appearance of your teeth.
Benefits of White Tooth Filling
Get Discreet Makeover
Opt for natural-looking white fillings for a subtle smile enhancement.
Commit to Non-Toxicity
White tooth fillings are free from toxic mercury and amalgam, aligning with non-toxic dental practices.
Unmatched Bonding Ability
These fillings bond directly with your tooth enamel, ensuring a tight seal that prevents bacteria from penetrating, unlike traditional metal fillings, which require more removal of tooth structure to place.
Reduce Sensitivity
White fillings help alleviate sensitivity issues, offering relief compared to traditional metal fillings that can exacerbate sensitivity.
Versatile Dental Solution
Whether treating cracks or restoring teeth after cavities, white fillings provide both temporary and permanent solutions for various dental concerns.
The Procedure
Initial Assessment and Examination
- During your first visit, your dentist conducts a thorough examination of your teeth to identify any oral health issues.
- This assessment helps determine which teeth require fillings and the most suitable filling material for your specific needs.
Numbing and Sedation
- Your dentist ensures your comfort by numbing the area where the filling is needed.
- You will then get an anesthetic injection for local sedation or general sedation based on your needs, pain tolerance and dental anxiety.
Selection of Filling Material and Cleaning
- Your dentist discusses the best non-metal filling options with you and assists in choosing the most appropriate one.
- Afterward, your teeth are meticulously cleaned and prepared to receive the filling.
Filling Insertion and Setting
- Following preparation, the chosen filling material is placed into the cavities or crevices of your teeth.
- Special curing lights are used to harden the filling material, ensuring a secure and durable fit.
Smoothening and Polishing
- Your dentist adjusts the filling to match the natural contours of your teeth for a seamless appearance.
- The surface of your teeth is polished to enhance smoothness and shine.

I highly recommend Markham Smile Centre for anyone looking for great dental care.
There is an ample parking space before you get into the office. The receptionists welcome us friendly with proper COVID-19 procedures in place. The staff worked with patient very patiently and professionally. My teeth cleaning was done by Ying, she explained every detail to me and I did not feel any pain or uncomfortable at all. Thanks to the best team !
It's been a while since I've been to a dentist but I'm trying to get back on track with health in general. Overall it was great going to Markham Smile Centre! The receptionist (I believe she was Kim) was friendly. The hygienist, Ying, was attentive and gentle during the cleaning; x-ray tech (forgot her name, sorry!) was great too. Dr. Sara Riad explained things with good detail. Looking forward to going back!
I was someone who was nervous and anxious about visiting the dentist, but the team at Markham Smile Centre has made me feel SO comfortable. Kim is so patient and helpful and Dr. Hwang and Rory are both so professional and wonderful. They thoroughly explain the procedure to make you comfortable beforehand and are very gentle. I now look forward to visiting the dentist!
I found this place on a whim when I was looking for a new dentist in Markham. My hygienist ying was super nice and her cleaning was very gentle yet thorough. I saw Dr.Jason and he was very nice and informative in regards to what needs to be done and provided me with all the information I needed to make a choice. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new dentist, they’re accepting new patients!!
I have been to many dentists in my life, Dr. Jason is easily the best dentist I have ever been too. He does everything he can to make you comfortable no matter the procedure and is a true professional, as does all the staff at Markham Smile Centre. Truly an amazing dentistry
The clinic was clean and the staff was very polite. I particularly liked the fact that everything was explained to me before going in for the procedure so I knew what to expect at each step. The dental hygienist who did the cleaning for me was also very gentle and took my concerns into consideration. I will definitely recommend them.
Upon arriving to the Markham Smile Centre, my son and I were greeted with a warm welcome by the receptionists. The hygienists and Dentist were very gentle and transparent with what they were doing. The hygienist that worked on my 9 year old son was patient and very friendly with him, which helped ease his nerves. Our overall experience was A+.
Since I was little, I have always hated going to the dentist... Its always uncomfortable and unpleasant. These days, visiting the dentist isn’t so bad! Dr Jason, Rory, and the lovely staff at reception make the experience 100x better. I have had absolutely no issues with the gum graft and cleanings that I’ve gotten done here. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, even when I’m calling in or emailing a hundred questions :). I would highly recommend Markham Smile Centre.
Love this place! All the staffs are friendly and Professional and I mean all, cause I've been to most of their office, Markham , Stouffville, North York, and Maple.
