What are BPA free composite fillings?
BPA free composite fillings are exactly the same as normal composite white fillings, with
the exact same functions. This comes in different shades to match your natural teeth. But
these are made up of other composites that do not include the controversial BPA.
BPA is referred to as Bisphenol. This is an organic compound that is used to make plastics.
In recent research and studies, BPA has had a lot of controversies as it exerts a weak but
detectable amount of hormone-like properties. Many governments around the world have
started to ban BPA over the past decade. In the manufacturing of baby bottles and in food
containers, a ban on BPA is a must.
With a restorative material that contains 30-50% less resin than other composites, BPA Free
Fillings Houston completed composite fills. The presence of trace amounts of bisphenol
reduced in fewer resins. Our holistic dental practice does not contain any bisphenol A or B
composite filling. Our Cosmetic Dentist team tests high for biocompatibility of composite
material used for patients.
