Duluth GA Metal-Free Dentist

Traditionally, the strongest dental crowns and bridges were made with a metal base. A layer of porcelain was baked over them to help the restorations blend in with the rest of the teeth. While this kind of metal-based dentistry is still around, it has a couple of issues.

A couple smiling and showing white teeth after visiting a metal-free dentist.

First, porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations are no longer the standard of aesthetic dentistry. The porcelain isn’t enough to make metal-based crowns look natural. The metal core creates a dark line at the gums and, combined with an opaque porcelain coating, makes the teeth look chalky and fake.

Modern dental technology allows a dentist like Dr. Marion to create natural-looking metal-free restorations that reflect the same color and translucency as real teeth.

The second problem with outdated porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns is that they can cause trouble for those with metal allergies or sensitivities. Here, too, newer techniques in metal-free dentistry mean that you can still get beautiful and strong dental restorations even if you want to avoid having metal in your mouth.

A Metal-Free Dentist in Duluth

Dr. Marion works exclusively with metal-free restorative materials. He restores teeth with metal-free full ceramic crowns and bridges.

Dr. Marion uses a specific material called zirconia to design his crowns and bridges. This material is called “ceramic steel” for good reason; it’s incredibly strong with a high tensile strength despite not containing metal. Zirconia bonds directly to teeth and doesn’t require a metal base for strength. Although zirconia contains ceramic, it’s far from brittle and will hold up even against the forces of a teeth-grinding habit.

Zirconia crowns also look incredibly life-like since there’s no metal base inside that needs to be covered up. Zirconia comes in a translucent formula that can be stained to build realistic depth and translucency to mimic a natural tooth.

If he’s restoring a front tooth, Dr. Marion prefers to use e.max crowns. These are made from pressed ceramic and are covered with porcelain veneers on the front. These restorations can create the most detailed and realistic finish for those front teeth that show when you smile.

The Benefits of Going Metal-Free

Here are just some of the benefits of visiting a metal-free dentist:

  • Strong, durable, and biocompatible restorations that help keep your whole mouth healthy
  • Beautiful results that look like real teeth; no one will ever have to know how much dental work you’ve had done
  • Freedom from the worry about exposure to some of the metals traditionally used in dental restorations (such as nickel, cobalt, and chromium).

Testimonials

Dr Marion and his team are the nicest, most trustworthy people I have met. The service is great, they have a way to make you relaxed and trust them. They also treat you like family. Awesome dentist!!! 100% recommend Dr Marion!

Awa Patton

To say the least, Dr. Marion is hands down the best dentist I have encountered in all of my years. They know you by name and are very genuine. I am beyond impressed with Dr. Marion's care and extremely confident I have some of the best dental work in my mouth.

Christian Powers

From the first appointment and treatment I was amazed with passion and skill of Dr. Marion. Even local anesthesia is applied so gently and skillfully that you barely feel it. I had my entire bite realigned so all my teeth snap together tightly as never before. And I do not hide my smile anymore. Wish I had found this practice earlier.

Bohdan Prus

I have been a patient of Dr. Marion for ten years and I have referred all my friends and family to his office. He provides premium and prompt services every time!

Deon Washington

I was not an easy patient for Dr Marion ... lots of work needed to be done! Plus I’m a wimp with a horrible gag reflex. He and his staff have gone out of their way to make me comfortable, and he does an expert job, better than any other dentist I have ever worked with.

Cindy Robinson

Dr. Marion was highly recommended by a friend who also happens to be one of Dr. Marion's former dental school professors. I am so thankful to have a kind, skilled and compassionate provider for our dental care.

Barbara Hardin

I chose Dr. Marion's office because my Dad raves about Dr. Marion and his staff. I had to meet these people!! 🙂 They were very friendly and put me at ease. They explained everything and let me know what insurance would pay & what I would be responsible for before they did any work. The office is clean and I never have to wait long. I highly recommend them.

Tammy Stout


We thank you for your kind comments and for referring your friends.
