Materials Make the Difference
Amalgam, or mercury, fillings have been used in dentistry since the late 1800’s. The mercury content in these fillings have been a controversial topic for many years because mercury is slowly lost from these fillings over time and this mercury exposure can potentially be harmful to one’s body.
There are several alternatives for amalgam restorations. Drs. Rayani and Siao offer the newest restorative materials, such as porcelain or composite, which is chemically bonded to the tooth. These types of restorations provide the ability to save healthy tooth structure due to the technological advances in bonding materials.
Same Day Crowns Now Available for Brentwood Dental Patients!
Crowns are also called caps. Crowns are fabricated to provide function where teeth have been fractured. They are made to fit over the remaining tooth after all decay has been removed. They protect the remaining tooth and provide a strong and long-lasting chewing surface on back teeth, and an esthetically pleasing appearance on front teeth.
Technology today is changing our everyday lives. The cutting-edge innovation of CEREC 3D, CAD-CAM technology is impacting dentistry in new and exciting ways. With this technique, Drs. Rayani and Siao can replace old, unsightly, silver (black metal) fillings with beautiful tooth-colored full and partial porcelain crowns in just one visit, while you wait, thereby eliminating the second appointment and the temporary crown.
This CEREC crown is milled by a computer to fit your tooth precisely, which eliminates the laboratory step in manufacturing the crown. Thus, your restorations will be fabricated and bonded permanently in a single visit. The beauty of this technology is that all the restorations are porcelain so they match your teeth perfectly.
