Restorative Dentistry – Midlothian, TX

Metal-Free Dental Crowns

By placing a tooth-shaped crown over a badly damaged or weakened tooth, we can protect the structure and prevent it from falling apart in the future. While metal has been used to create crowns for over 100 years, nowadays, we can offer restorations made entirely out of tooth-colored porcelain, which can be customized to match the rest of your teeth. This way, those around you will only see a completely natural-looking smile!

Amalgam Filling Removal

Older amalgam fillings contain mercury, which can be toxic if you’re exposed to too much of it. We offer holistic dentistry to patients who prefer such an approach, so if you want to replace an amalgam filling with a mercury-free one, we’re more than happy to help with its removal and apply composite resin in its place. We’ll make sure the procedure is performed safely so that you won’t have to worry about any toxins.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Instead of an unsightly, mercury-based amalgam filling, we can repair cavities with a material called composite resin. Like porcelain, it resembles enamel closely enough that it can be colored to blend in with natural teeth so that it doesn’t stand out in your mouth. Another advantage of this type of filling is that it bonds directly with the enamel, giving it additional support to avoid breakage in the future. And, unlike a metal filling, a composite filling won’t expand and contract due to temperature changes, so you won’t have to worry about it damaging your tooth over time.

One Visit Dental Restorations

At some dental offices, getting a crown requires multiple visits; you would normally need to wait a couple of weeks or more between appointments for a dental lab to create your restoration. Naturally, many patients find this delay inconvenient, which is why we offer a faster alternative. With advanced tools and techniques at our disposal, we can have your restoration created and placed on the same day. Call our dental office today to learn more about our restoration process.
