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 State College area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.
Dr. Devlin 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 can range from $150 to $350 per tooth.
Please call our office at Chris J Devlin DMD PC with any questions you may have about the benefits of resin restorations.
