Replace Unsightly
Silver-Mercury Fillings At Today's Dental Cosmetic and Family Dentistry
Tooth-colored "resin" fillings
by Dr. Cossich
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.
Now at Today's Dental Cosmetic and Family Dentistry there is a new and economical way to restore teeth using tooth-colored
bonded resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.
Dr. Cossich 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.
Bonded resin restorations not only look better, but they are stronger and last longer than the old silver-amalgam fillings.
Bonded resin restorations can range from $120 to $350 per tooth.
Please call our office at Today's Dental Cosmetic and Family Dentistry with any questions you may have about the benefits of
bonded resin restorations.
