Fillings and Restorations

Cosmetic Dentist Serving Alexandria, Arlington, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia

When a section of your tooth becomes decayed, it must be taken care of as soon as possible. Otherwise, infections can spread throughout your mouth and, in the worst case scenario, you can start losing teeth.

Dental fillings and restorations are a way to repair a decaying tooth. While most people tend to think of silver fillings, that's not the case anymore.

Silver mercury fillings would never be approved by the FDA in modern times. New materials for onlays and inlays have surpassed their efficacy and longevity. Today, bonded plastics can be used to restore teeth replacing the larger, older fillings. These plastics can often be used instead of crowns, and conserve your healthy tooth structure.

Teeth that are restored are stronger and healthier than those with old, worn, silver-mercury fillings. These sophisticated restorations look and feel like natural healthy teeth.

Tooth restoration patients from Washington, DC and Northern Virginia are invited to contact our Alexandria, VA advanced dentistry office today for a consultation. Enjoy the confidence of a healthy
and naturally beautiful smile!
