Cosmetic Dentistry Fixes Cracked, Worn, Discolored and Broken Teeth
At Tidewater Dental
For over 100 years,
dentists have been using silver-mercury amalgam fillings to restore decayed or broken teeth. The only other alternative was gold and that was too expensive for most folks.
Now there is a new and economical way to restore teeth in the Lexington
Park area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of
glass particles in a plastic matrix. Dr. Cooper and Dr. Owens bond the
putty-like material to the tooth with a high-intensity light. This
hardens the material and allows it to be shaped and polished for
immediate use.
Once completed, the tooth has a natural appearance and is actually stronger than before due to the strength of the adhesive agent used to bond the resin to the tooth. Resin restorations not only look better, but they are stronger and last longer than the old silver-amalgam fillings. Resin restorations can range from $100 to $250 per tooth.
Please call Tidewater Dental at (866) 455-9637 with any questions you may have about the benefits of resin restorations.
