Replace Unsightly
Silver-Mercury Fillings At Petrolia Dental
Tooth-colored "resin" fillings
by Dr. Varughese and Dr. Carson
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 Petrolia Dental, 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. Varughese and Dr. Carson bond 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. Varughese or Dr. Carson, 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 $150 to $350 per tooth.
Please call us at Petrolia Dental with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
