Replace Silver Mercury Fillings
Tooth-colored
"resin" fillingsFor 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 Castillo Smile Care, 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. 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 by Dr. Castillo, 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 $100 to $250 per tooth.
Please call us at Castillo Smile Care with any questions you may
have about the benefits of resin restorations.
