Replace Unsightly
Silver-Mercury Fillings At West Morris Dental Associates
Tooth-colored "resin" fillings
by Dr. Adelstein
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 West Morris Dental Associates 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. Adelstein 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. Adelstein, 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.
Please call us at West Morris Dental Associates with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
