What Is BPA?

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical widely used in plastics and resins. While not used as a direct ingredient in dental fillings, some commonly used resins are derived from BPA, such as Bis-GMA (Bisphenol A-Glycidyl Methacrylate).
The concern is that, during placement, polishing, or drilling, tiny amounts of BPA derivatives may be released into the mouth. While these materials are considered safe by regulatory authorities, some health-conscious patients may prefer to avoid them.

What Is Bis-GMA?

Bis-GMA is a resin monomer made from BPA and commonly used in tooth-coloured fillings. It provides durability and strength but is still derived from BPA.
For patients who prefer materials with no BPA derivatives at all, we provide alternative filling materials that are both strong and aesthetically natural.

Are BPA-Free Fillings Safe?

Yes. Research shows conventional composites (including those with Bis-GMA) are safe for clinical use. Choosing BPA-free fillings is usually a personal preference rather than a medical necessity.

At My Dentist, we respect your health priorities by offering safe, biocompatible alternatives and ensuring your treatment is tailored to your needs.

When Are BPA-Free & Bis-GMA-Free Fillings Used?

Our BPA-free and Bis-GMA-free materials are suitable for:

  • Restoring decayed or damaged teeth
  • Replacing older fillings
  • Small to moderate restorations
  • Patients who prefer materials without BPA derivatives
Your dentist will assess if these options are suitable for your specific case.

What is BPA and why does it matter in dental care?
BPA (Bisphenol A) is a compound found in some plastics. In dentistry, trace amounts may come from certain filling materials, which is why many patients prefer BPA-free options.
They’re an excellent choice for patients who prefer to avoid any potential exposure to BPA derivatives, even in trace amounts.
Yes. The materials are durable enough for molars while still looking natural.
No. They are tooth-coloured and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Yes—though we usually only recommend replacing fillings if clinically necessary, not just for material preference.
In most cases, pricing is very similar. If there’s a variation, we’ll explain it clearly before treatment.
