Cracked, worn, discolored or broken teeth fixed with cosmetic
dentistry
For
over 100 years, dentists have been using silver-mercury amalgam
fillings to restore decayed or broken teeth.
Now there is a new and economical way to restore teeth in the Suwanee area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.
Dr. Patel 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 $150 to $350 per tooth.
Please call our office at Center for Advanced Dentistry with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
