- My smile doesn't need any help,
but my back teeth are full of large, dark metal
fillings. What can I do?
Large, dark, amalgam fillings are
particularly troublesome to many people. They can
make your teeth appear gray and decayed. Amalgam
fillings can "leak", which allows decay to get
under the fillings. Also, Large amalgam are a
leading cause of "cracked tooth syndrome", which
is characterized by painful chewing and cold sensitivity.
Today's more modern restorations are now a great
alternative to dark amalgam fillings. Porcelain or
composite inlays and onlays can make your teeth white
again and can restore your back teeth to almost 100% of
their original strength. These restorations are
bonded in place, and can eliminate tooth sensitivity most
of the time.
- I have already lost all of my
teeth. What can Aesthetic & Reconstructive
Dentistry do for me?
To a large degree, we dentists have
failed the edentulous patient (people who have lost all
their teeth). People who have lost their teeth have
been ignored, forgotten and left out of the cosmetic
revolution that has swept modern dentistry.
This is beginning to change. Dental implants are benefiting
many edentulous patients, helping them to have an
aesthetic smile as well as a strong
bite.
The single most exciting
procedure that our office is offering for the edentulous
patient is the "Life-Like Cosmetic
Denture". This procedure is less costly than
implants, and offers a beautiful, life-like result.
The patient is in charge of the shape, color and arrangement
of their teeth. The outcome is a smile that does not
look like the typical denture.
Call us today at (409)
898-4300 to ask about this 'state of the art'
cosmetic denture.
