While mercury free dentistry is not particularly new, many patients have had to wait a few weeks for their ceramic restorations in the past. This is because these restorations were typically made off-site in laboratories. Modern technology, however, has made it possible to receive these restorations the same day that a tooth is prepared for treatment.
Why Professional Treatment is Needed for Cavities
Although our teeth are quite strong, they aren’t impervious to disease or damage. Teeth also cannot regenerate the way that other tissues in the body do. When decay forms, it must be professionally treated so that patients do not have to suffer with root canal infections or tooth loss as decay worsens.
Dental restorations can extend the lifespan of our teeth and prevent painful infections from developing in the future. They provide protection for weakened tooth structure from cavity-causing bacteria and can help prevent future chips and cracks.
Today’s white restorations are inconspicuous and produce undetectable dental work for a beautiful aesthetic.
Why Choose Ceramic
There are a few options for enjoying discreet and mercury free dentistry. For example, composite resin is commonly used to treat minor tooth decay. Ceramic, however, is more durable and lifelike. It is resistant to staining and has a luster comparable to teeth because ceramic reflects light.
When it comes to repairing broken and diseased teeth, ceramic is a durable material that perfectly blends in with biologic tooth structure. It also feels very much like natural teeth.
