Tooth Colored Fillings, Crown and Bridges-Without Metal
Dr Rotem is an expert in restorative cosmetic dentistry. Fillings, crowns
and bridges do not have to be made of gold or mercury amalgam. Dr Rotem
has been at the forefront of restorative cosmetic dentistry since dental
school. "One of my first jobs out of school was in an office that
had had a mercury spill, so they didn’t use mercury amalgam anymore.
In learning about the cosmetic materials, I found that they had a lot
of advantages over mercury amalgam and gold. They required less invasive
placement, they were more stable than amalgam, and they provided a tighter
seal and they did not cause fractures since they didn’t expand with
heat the way metal did. In fact, thanks to adhesive technology, they restored
teeth to their strength and to a beautiful appearance. I received a lot
of experience as a young dentist using these bonded restorations.” Now,
with the latest generation of materials, even bridgework can beautifully
mimic nature without metal. If you have cavities or worn out dental work,
or if you just want to replace your existing dental work to make it look
beautiful, Dr Rotem can help you with gorgeous dental restorations that
defy detection.
