Replace Unsightly
Silver-Mercury Fillings At Southpoint Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry
Tooth-colored "resin" fillings
by Dr. Martinez
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 at Southpoint Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry 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. Martinez 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. Martinez, 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
look better and they will enhance the beauty of your smile.
Please call us at Southpoint Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
