Most patients cannot readily detect the difference when dentists use the cheapest dental composites to fill their teeth. Nor are patients usually aware of the potentially hazardous chemicals in the cheaper composite materials used for bonding and filling cavities.
But eventually, your teeth and perhaps your general health will reflect the difference, and you may find yourself back in the dental chair for additional work much sooner than you would like. At Greenwich Dental Group, we use only the strongest and most durable composites, all of them designed not only to stand the test of time, but also to ensure the safety of your oral and general health.
Materials Used:
Ormocers
In recent years the one notable advancement in biocompatible fillings has been the development of Ormocers (organically modified ceramics), which do not contain any toxic materials. Ormocers’ durability has been shown to be the same as for composite fillings, making it a great choice for those concerned with toxic exposure.
Benefits:
• Tooth-colored
• Hard as glass yet with resin properties
• Improved aesthetics
• Better biocompatibility
• High abrasion resistance
• Smoother surface
• Reduced shrinkage
• Protection against caries
