Hello! Welcome to the Ritchie Dental Group blog. If this your first visit, we hope you find useful information about our Marble Falls cosmetic dentistry practice. If you have read some of our previous articles, we are glad you checked back with us. We post new articles regularly.
My name is Greg Ritchie, DDS. I have been practicing dentistry in Marble Falls since 2000. Ritchie Dental Group is a full-service dental office located at 1000 Marble Heights Dr, Marble Falls TX in Marble Falls. In addition to providing comprehensive examinations and deep cleanings for clients in the Horseshoe Bay area, we perform all types of tooth restorations.
When a tooth has decay or has been damaged, a dental restoration is needed to ‘restore’ the tooth to its previous intact condition. A dental filling is one of the most common and well-known types of restorations. A dental filling is used to repair decayed or damaged tooth surfaces. Most people have a few fillings in their mouth.
If you have old silver amalgam fillings, we can replace them with nearly-invisible fillings tooth colored. These fillings are made out of a strong composite resin. Many of our Marble Falls cosmetic dentistry patients have replaced their old silver fillings with fillings matched to their teeth. You can improve your smile instantly and relatively inexpensively by getting rid of the ‘metal’. You also have the option to getting dental crowns which are a much more permanent solution for those teeth that have large or multiple fillings.
Another reason some Burnet and Horseshoe Bay clients have had their old fillings replaced is because they are concerned about the possible heavy metal toxicity of the mercury in the silver.
If you would like to replace your amalgam fillings, call us at 830-693-8833 to schedule a consultation. We are currently accepting new patients and would be happy to show you around our Marble Falls cosmetic dental office and introduce you to our friendly team.
Smile – it increases your face value!
