Tooth-Colored Fillings
We offer tooth-colored fillings made from composite resins for treatment of dental decay, chips, or cracks. Dr. Walker in Kernersville, NC has been asked by many patients to replace existing amalgam fillings with tooth-colored fillings, and he is often able to do so. He will also be happy to discuss your preference in treating your dental decay or damage at the time of treatment. There are some insurance providers that will not cover the cost of tooth-colored fillings, and we’ll be happy to place amalgams to help you maximize your coverage. However, there are a number of reasons why composite resin fillings may be the preferable treatment option. In addition to their cosmetic appeal, composite resin itself allows for a more effective, natural feeling restoration compared with amalgam. Metal fillings are crafted outside the mouth and held in position by wedges placed in the healthy tooth structure. Because we’re able to apply the putty-like composite resin directly to the tooth, this restorative solution is more conservative, allowing us to preserve the maximum amount of healthy dental structure. Once the composite resin is in place, we harden the material onto the tooth using a curing light. The entire process is quick and virtually painless.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
A crown is needed on a tooth to restore, protect, strengthen, and improve function of a tooth. Dr. Zack Walker offers crowns available in three different styles: full porcelain fused to metal, full ceramic, and gold alloy. Dr. Walker consults with his patients as to which material is suitable for them. He will create a crown that feels natural and comfortable in your mouth.
Another option Dr. Walker offers for tooth replacement is a fixed bridge. A fixed bridge is attached to the natural teeth next to the space left by the missing tooth or teeth. The missing tooth will be replaced by an artificial tooth that is attached to the crowns on adjacent natural teeth. Dr. Walker creates a fixed bridge which looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. It is cemented into place and there is no need to remove it to maintain dental health.
