Metal-Free Dental Treatments
At the office of Angela M. Osborn, DDS, PC we are committed to providing our patients with the best treatment available. Gone are the days of metallic dental restorations. We offer metal-free dentistry as an alternative to many traditional treatment options. We use non-metallic, biocompatible materials in your procedures. Our tooth-colored fillings, crowns and bridges are made from porcelain, ceramic or other tooth-colored materials.
The use of metals in your fillings, crowns and bridges can potentially pose a health risk. Additionally, the use of metal in your teeth can increase your sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. Silver fillings can be unattractive in your smile too, drawing unwanted attention to your dental restorations. As an alternative, our dentist offers healthy alternatives like composite dental fillings, which can stabilize your damaged tooth, while looking completely natural.
Additionally, we can remove previous metal fillings and restorations, replacing them with a safe, beautiful non-metal restoration. If you have metal fillings, crowns or bridges, you can set up an appointment with Dr. Angela Osborn to identify if you would benefit from a restoration replacement.

We would be happy to answer all of your questions about the side effects and health risks associated with certain metals, and what our office is doing to keep our patients safe.

When you come to the office for your regularly scheduled appointment, we will make sure your smile is as healthy as possible.

Learn MoreGum recession is the loss of gum tissue along the gum line and subsequent exposure of the roots of teeth. It can occur as a result of periodontal (gum) disease, the natural aging process, or inadequate or overaggressive brushing and flossing. Common signs of gum recession include overly sensitive teeth and tooth mobility, and teeth that appear longer than others. Gum recession can often cause significant problems for your dental health when left untreated.

Dental implants can be placed to replace one or more missing teeth, and when cared for properly, can last for the rest of your life. Dr. Osborn has extensive experience in the use of dental implants. It can completely replace a single tooth or implants can anchor bridges, crowns or dentures. Your dental implant will be custom-made to fit your smile comfortably and beautifully.
Learn MoreDo you have trouble staying asleep at night? If so, you might be one of the many people who suffer from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder that causes interruptions and pauses in your breathing while sleeping. Obstructive sleep apnea is the result of obstructions in the airway, such as your tongue rolling back into your throat while sleeping. Sleep apnea needs to be diagnosed from a sleep physician. If you have already spoken with your physician, our dentist can help too!
