Repairing teeth can be a real drag. The process can be awkard and time consuming. In addition, because of the myrad of choices it can often result in a lot of confusion for some people.
Some things you might want to consider may include:
How long do you want your fillings to last.
How much time do you have to take care of your teeth
Is the appearance of the final result important to you
Have you considered the long term consequence of choosing the least costly option?
To help you come to the best decision about repairing your teeth, we follow 2 simple guidlines:
Remove the least amount of healthy tooth
Choose a material that will last the longest
In past, we ofetn had no choice but to remove more tooth so that our fillings and crowns would stay attached to the remaining tooth. However with new technologies at our disposal we can now remove only the diseased portion of the tooth while still replacing what has been damaged.
Without getting too technical, we have at our disposal some amazing dental materials that can replace damged tooth. These are a quantam leap from the white fillings from 20 years ago and make metal amlgam fillings look absolutly antique.
Todays ceramic hybrids represent the cutting edge in material science for appearance and longevity.
Using the CEREC sytem we can now complete these restorations in one visit saving you time and protecting what is left of your teeth.
