Cracked, Worn, Discolored or Broken Teeth

Now there is a new and economical way to restore teeth using tooth-colored resin fillings.

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 always too expensive for most folks.

The filling is made up of fine porcelain particles mixed with a plastic resin bonding material. The doctor bonds 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 $225 per tooth. Please call with any questions you may have about the benefits of resin restorations.
