When your child needs a filling, the materials used become part of their body for years to come. At Wellness Pediatric Dentistry, we exclusively use biocompatible filling materials that are completely free from mercury, BPA, and other potentially harmful substances. Our advanced composite resins provide excellent durability and natural appearance while supporting your child’s overall health and development.
Dr. Wengler’s commitment to holistic care means every restoration is carefully selected for both safety and effectiveness. We use only the highest quality biocompatible materials that integrate harmoniously with your child’s natural tooth structure, providing long-lasting protection while eliminating any concerns about toxic exposure from dental work.
Traditional dental fillings have historically used materials like mercury amalgam or composites containing BPA-releasing compounds. Modern biocompatible materials eliminate these concerns while providing superior performance. Our ceramic-filled composites bond directly to tooth structure, creating restorations that are stronger, more durable, and completely safe for developing bodies.
These advanced materials not only restore function and appearance but also strengthen the remaining tooth structure. Unlike amalgam fillings that require removing healthy tooth structure for mechanical retention, biocompatible composites bond chemically to teeth, allowing us to preserve more of your child’s natural tooth while providing excellent long-term results.
Our composite filling materials are completely free from BPA, bis-GMA, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals while providing excellent strength and durability:
Material Advantages:
For larger restorations or high-stress areas, we use ceramic-reinforced composites that provide enhanced strength while maintaining complete biocompatibility:
Enhanced Properties:
For specific situations, we may use biocompatible glass ionomer materials that actually release beneficial minerals to strengthen the surrounding tooth structure:
Unique Benefits:
All filling materials are rigorously tested for biocompatibility and contain no mercury, BPA, or other potentially harmful substances that could affect your child's developing body.
Advanced color-matching technology creates restorations that blend seamlessly with your child's natural teeth, maintaining their beautiful smile while providing excellent protection.
Biocompatible materials bond directly to teeth, allowing us to preserve more natural tooth structure while providing stronger, longer-lasting restorations than traditional materials.

Holistic Integration:
Biocompatible fillings eliminate exposure to mercury, BPA, and other potentially harmful substances while providing superior aesthetics and often better long-term durability. They bond directly to teeth, allowing us to preserve more natural tooth structure while creating restorations that support your child’s overall health and development.
High-quality biocompatible composites typically last 7-15 years or longer, depending on the size and location of the restoration, your child’s oral habits, and how well they’re maintained. These materials often outlast traditional options while providing superior safety and aesthetics throughout their service life.
While biocompatible materials may cost slightly more initially, they often provide better long-term value through enhanced durability, reduced replacement needs, and the invaluable benefit of complete safety for your child’s developing body. Many insurance plans cover these restorations, and we offer flexible payment options.
Yes, we have biocompatible options for restorations of all sizes, from small fillings to large onlays and crowns. For extensive restorations, we may use ceramic-reinforced composites or all-ceramic materials that provide exceptional strength while maintaining complete biocompatibility and natural appearance.
Biocompatible fillings require the same excellent oral hygiene as natural teeth, using the natural, biocompatible oral care products we recommend. Regular checkups allow us to monitor restoration condition and provide professional cleaning that maintains their appearance and function over time.
If your child has existing amalgam fillings, we can evaluate whether replacement with biocompatible materials would be beneficial. When amalgam replacement is indicated, we use safe removal protocols and replace with the most appropriate biocompatible material for long-term health and function.
