For over 100 years, dentists have been using silver-mercury amalgam fillings to restore decayed or broken teeth. The only other option was gold and that was too costly for most people. Now there is a innovative and economical process to restore teeth using tooth-colored resin fillings. Dr. Bodnar bonds the putty-like material to the tooth with a high-intensity light. This light hardens the material and allows it to be shaped and polished for immediate use. Once completed, the tooth has a natural appearance and is actually stronger than before. Resin restorations can range from $155 to $325 per tooth.
