Silver-mercury filling replacement

Tooth-colored fillings

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 too expensive for most folks.

Now, at University Associates in Dentistry, there is a new way to restore teeth using tooth-colored resin and porcelain fillings.  Both materials bond to the tooth.

Once completed by Dr. Delfs, your tooth has a natural appearance and is actually stronger than before, due to the strength of the adhesive agent used to bond the restoration to the tooth.  Tooth colored restorations can range from $150 to $1100 per tooth.
