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. The only other alternative was gold and that was
often too expensive for most folks.
Now there is a new and economical way to restore teeth in the Edina area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass particles in a plastic matrix.
Dr. Cook 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.
Please call our office at Southdale Family Dentistry with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
