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. The only other
alternative was gold and that was too expensive for most folks.
Now there is a new and economical way to restore teeth in the Fresno
area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of
glass particles in a plastic matrix. Dr. Castillo 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
$250 per tooth.
Please call our office at Castillo Smile Care with any questions
you may have about the benefits of resin restorations.
