- True or False: This means a biocompatible approach to dental care.
- True or False: We can place metal-free fillings.
- True or False: Patients can enjoy ceramic crowns.
- True or False: Our crowns can be placed in one visit.
Answer Key
- True. With holistic care we take a more conservative approach to dental care, recommending less intensive care when possible. We also use biocompatible materials for our restorations, so your crowns and fillings look natural and blend with your smile.
- True. Typically fillings are made from an amalgam material. These metal fillings can contain trace amounts of mercury and be a problem for patients with metal allergies. However, since we use a metal-free composite resin they contain no mercury and will blend with the rest of the tooth structure.
- True. Instead of using metal for crowns we use ceramic. This material looks natural and can blend with the smile. The material also contains stain-resistant properties and can withstand pressures and bite forces. We can place one to address decay, infection, or chipped/fractured teeth.
- True. Using CEREC technology the doctor can design and fabricate a restoration in a single visit. You don’t need multiple visits and can enjoy a restored smile in a single visit. If you have any questions or concerns about our approach to restorations then contact our office today.
