Restorative

Fillings

SILVER FILLINGS

For more than 100 years, dentists have been using dental amalgam as a long lasting, cost-effective option for restoring teeth.  Made from mercury, silver, tin, and copper, amalgam or ‘silver fillings’ have proven the test of time to be a safe and strong option for filling cavities.

 

TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS

Composite resin, or tooth colored fillings, are a great option for front and back teeth.  For patients concerned about retaining the natural color of their teeth, tooth colored fillings are a good choice.  Composites cost more than amalgam and occasionally require a higher out of pocket amount based on insurance coverage. Also, while the strength has greatly improved, studies have shown the life span of a tooth colored filling to be shorter than its silver-colored counterpart.

 

Crowns

Restoring the strength to compromised teeth is the main reason for the recommendation of a crown.  Teeth with large fillings, teeth with cracks and fracture lines, and teeth that have broken can be good candidates for a crown.  In addition, crowns can be used to correct discolorations and to cosmetically change the shape of teeth.  Also, upon completion of implant placement, crowns are used to restore them.

 

If Dr. Cochell recommends a crown, restoring strength and longevity to the affected teeth is his primary goal.  He shares with his patients the mutual interest of maintaining healthy teeth for years to come.
