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 way to restore teeth in the San Jose area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.
Dr. Fong 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 and last longer than the old
silver-amalgam fillings.
Please call our office at Andrew B. Fong, D.D.S. with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
