Cosmetic Dentistry Fixes Cracked, Worn, Discolored Or Broken Teeth
At Bruce W Hanson DDS
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
many people.
Now there is a new and economical way to restore teeth in the Kent area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.
Dr. Hanson 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 than the old silver-amalgam fillings.
Resin restorations can range from $150 to $350 per tooth.
Please call our office at Bruce W Hanson DDS with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
