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.
Now there is a new and economical way to restore teeth in the Waunakee area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.
Dr. Martens 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 JoAnn Martens DDS LLC with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
