Tooth Colored Fillings

During the last several years, major changes in restorative dentistry have come about with introduction of the fourth and fifth generation dentin bonding agents. Tensile strength values of these agents are now greater than that of dentin itself. If you have Silver Amalgams, Stained Resins, Gold-Colored Fillings you can replace them with porcelain or plastic and have them bonded to your teeth. Bonding utilizes ultra-violet light and etching of the enamel of your teeth. Dr. Prehn is excited about the ability to utilize the bonding technique in attaching esthetic restorations to patients' teeth.
