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 Clemmons area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.
Dr. Kelly 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 strengthened
due to the strength of the adhesive agent used to bond the resin to the
tooth. Resin restorations look more like natural teeth and many
people like the appearance more than the old silver-amalgam fillings.
Resin restorations can range from $150 to $350 per tooth.
Please call our office at Cosmetic Dental Center with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
