A graduate of the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry, J. Michael Puckett, DDS, has maintained a private practice in Jamestown, North Carolina, for more than 20 years. Patients see J. Michael Puckett, DDS, for a wide range of services, including fillings.
Today, many people want fillings that match the color of their teeth so that repairs are less obvious. Several options are available for tooth-colored fillings.
The most popular material is composite resin, a mixture of resin and strong ceramic nano particles. While this material often costs more than metal options, it lasts almost as long and does not require as much drilling of the tooth. Which in most cases makes them a more conserative choice.
Another treatment option is cerec all ceramic restorations. Cerec is a maximum strength restoration for teeth that makes them last longer. In both cases of treatment choices the restorations are bonded to the tooth making them inherently stronger and they also function or wear like natural tooth structure.
