Replace Unsightly
Silver-Mercury Fillings At Gunbarrel Dental Center
Tooth-colored "resin" fillings
by Dr. Savory
For over 100 years, dentists have been
using silver-mercury amalgam fillings to restore decayed or broken
teeth. The only other alternative is gold, which while very strong, can
be less esthetic.
Now at Gunbarrel Dental Center there is a new and economical way to
restore teeth using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up
of glass particles in a plastic matrix. Dr. Savory 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 by Dr. Savory, your 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 $150 to $350
per tooth.
Please call us at Gunbarrel Dental Center with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
