Dental Resin Restorations

At our dental clinic in Costa Rica, we use dental resins as the preferred filling material for the restoration of teeth affected by cavities.

Dental resins offer an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for repairing damaged teeth, providing multiple benefits as explained below.

Why Choose Dental Resins for Restorations?

• Natural Aesthetic:

  Dental resins come in a wide range of shades to match the natural color of your teeth.

  This allows for restorations that are virtually invisible, providing a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance compared to traditional materials like dental amalgams.

  This is particularly important for those seeking a discreet and effective dental treatment.

• Advantages Over Dental Amalgams:

  In our clinic in Costa Rica, we have chosen not to use dental amalgams (silver fillings) due to their mercury content, which can be harmful over the long term.

  Dental resins do not contain mercury and are a safer and more aesthetically favorable alternative.

• Durability and Tooth Preservation:

  Dental resins help maintain your teeth in good condition for many years.

  Their ability to bond securely to the natural tooth structure helps preserve the natural tooth, reducing the need for more invasive or costly treatments like dental crowns.

  This makes resins an ideal choice for those seeking a durable and cost-effective solution.

Maintenance and Replacement of Dental Resins

• Periodic Replacement:

  Although dental resins are durable, they need to be replaced periodically.

  Over time, they can develop cracks or wear, which could lead to deeper cavities or infections if not properly addressed.

  Timely replacement ensures that your teeth remain healthy and functional.

• Consequences of Wear:

  If replacements are not carried out, damage to the resin can lead to more serious problems, such as deep cavities, infections, or, in extreme cases, the need for a root canal (endodontic treatment) or even the extraction of the affected tooth.

  Regular monitoring is essential to avoid major complications.

Alternatives for Extensive Restorations

• Alternative Treatments:

  In cases where a large portion of the tooth needs to be filled, resin may not be the most suitable option.

  In such situations, other dental treatments, such as dental crowns, may be necessary to ensure effective and long-lasting restoration.

  Our team will evaluate your specific case to recommend the best solution.
