Winyah Dental Group is excited to offer top notch, modern Operative Dentistry.
OPERATIVE DENTISTRY is simply treating missing or malformed portions of the teeth caused by tooth decay, trauma, discoloration, or unusual development. There are several options for the material used to restore and correct these conditions – silver amalgam, tooth-colored composite resin or resin-modified materials, porcelain, gold, etc.
As mentioned, we have several options that can work when restoring your teeth. The type of material chosen can vary based on several factors, such as the location of the filling and the extent of the damage to your teeth.
We offer Gold, Silver (Amalgams), and Tooth Colored Composites.
Gold fillings will last longer because it’s a stronger material.
Silver fillings are typically less expensive than gold and they tend to last longer than composite fillings because of the durability.
The tooth colored composite filling not only bonds to the tooth structure, offering additional support, but they blend with the color of your teeth, giving a more natural appearance.
