Dr. Rich shows a close up view of removing a silver amalgam filling with a high speed dental drill and replacing it with a white filling. In addition to the high speed handpiece, he uses a slow speed dental drill. Clean and Boost by Vista/Apex is used to clean the cavity prep. Dental bonding agent is Surpass by Vista/Apex. The flowable composite that is used is Titan by Vista/Apex, shade A2. Vitalessence by Ultradent, shade Pearl Frost is the final layer of the composite filling. Seamfree lubricant and wetting agent by Vista/Apex is used to aid in adapting the composite to the tooth. Valo Grand curing light by Ultradent is used to cure the bonding agent and the composites. Jiffy polisher by Ultradent is used as the final step.

Should I remove my 2 silver fillings? I believe the last time I asked they said it wasn't necessary. But, I am concerned that it may be wise to. i don't really want to risk it weakening my tooth structure as I am trying to keep all my teeth. Now that I finally committed to flossing daily. Plus, I am concerned it may cause extra inflammation that isn't necessary as I already have inflammation from my eczema.

Beautiful! Looks like a natural tooth. Amazing work. I just got three fillings today from my local dentist who i’ve known pretty much my whole life and it was a direct composite white filling. The drilling wasn’t all that fun, he had to numb me up again because I was feeling the pain at first but it worked out in the end and I think he did a good job. Ever since about a month ago i’ve been learning a lot about dentistry and oral health and it is interesting the type of technology that is out there, it’s amazing how quickly these resins harden when exposed to blue light

Hi, I stick the extracted tooth in a bit of snap stone that I pour into the bottom of a plastic cup. Then I use a a small vise I bought from Harbor Freight Tools to hold it in place while I work on the tooth. The green you see in the video is a green rubber dam I stretch around the tooth to cover up the vice and stone so it looks better for the video. Thank you very much for watching!

Hi, anytime a tooth is worked on, you can have sensitivity afterwards. First thing I check is the bite to make sure the new filling is not too high. I don't normally use any pulp protection other than a good bonding agent and flowable composite under the composite. Pain when chewing may indicate a crack.

How long does filling last
@VeryNiceSmileDental
@VeryNiceSmileDental Жыл бұрын
Hi, it depends on the size of the filling and on the person. I have patients on whom I've placed white fillings back in the mid '90's and the fillings are still doing well. I have silver fillings in my own mouth that were placed back in the early '80's and are still doing well. Thanks for the question and thank you very much for watching.

​@@VeryNiceSmileDental I have also gone with silver filling for my very small cavity in one of the molar teeth. Was it good decision as I wanted longevity?

I think most dentists have one. During dental school I had to call around to local dentists and ask them for extracted teeth.

Hi, fixing a tooth is much less expensive than replacing a tooth.

Is this more uncomfortable than a standard filing and if I have a new cavity that needs to be filled what's the best filing out of all of them?

Hi Ryan, thank you for the question, nowadays, my go to filling material is a composite resin (white filling) material. Most people don't have any sensitivity afterwards.

How long does composite last in molars is it good or its better to use amalgam
@VeryNiceSmileDental
@VeryNiceSmileDental Жыл бұрын
Hi, how long a composite filling lasts depends on several factors. It can last a long time, I routinely use it for fillings. I still place amalgams in certain situations (usually third molars or patching up gold or porcelain fused to metal crowns).
