Dental Fillings and Bondings Opelika Composite fillings are made of a tooth-colored resin and are used to fill cavities or repair cracked or chipped teeth. Fillings are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. Amalgam fillings are made of a mixture of metals, including mercury, silver, tin, and copper. Amalgam fillings are also known as “silver” fillings. Composite fillings can last for many years, but they may eventually need to be replaced. The lifespan of a filling like this is largely dependent on the level of care it receives. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are important to maintaining your oral health. During regular check-ups with the dentist, you will be informed if any previous fillings need to be replaced. As a general rule, they tend to last about 5-15 years or so. Bonding is a similar process where the resin is used to build up or change the shape of a tooth. Both procedures are quick and relatively painless, and can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. https://eastalabamadentalgroup.business.site/posts/2967502863864167576 East Alabama Dental Group 1945 1st Ave, Opelika, AL 36801, United States (334) 749-5014 Hours: Monday to Thursday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm https://www.eastalabamadental.com https://sites.google.com/view/emergency-dentist-opelika/ https://www.google.com/maps?cid=4740239681082769031 Full Article Available on https://local.google.com/place?id=4740239681082769031&use=posts&lpsid=CIHM0ogKEICAgIDui96xeA
