WHITE FILLINGS (COMPOSITE RESINS AND BONDINGS)
I understand that the treatment of my dentition involving the placement of
composite resin fillings, which may be more aesthetic in appearance than some of
the conventional materials that have been traditionally used, such as silver
amalgam or gold, may entail certain risks.

2. |
PORCELAIN (FUSE-TO-METAL)
These are more expensive than fillings and used where the tooth is not strong
enough to hold a filling. They have an excellent appearance (esthetics) and are
durable.
|
3. |
GOLD ALLOYS
These are expensive and durable restorations. They have poor appearance
(esthetics) but low incidence of allergic reaction.
|
|
It is our policy in any clinical applications to recommend the material that in our
professional opinion is the best combination of cost, durability, and appearance.
