Apple Dental Is Offering Composite Resin and Gold Dental Fillings to Patients in Monroe, LA

Monroe, Louisiana-based, dentist office Apple Dental is urging local patients to find out more about the types of dental fillings it offers and whether the treatment is the right solution for them.

Dental fillings are a popular treatment for “filling in” the gaps left in the tooth after the decayed material is extracted. The treatment is also used frequently to repair cracked or broken teeth. Patients generally have a choice between several filling materials based on their budget and requirements including gold, silver amalgam, and tooth-colored composites.

At Apple Dental, patients can choose between composite resins or gold fillings. Composite resins have been the most sought-after choice at dental clinics worldwide due to their affordability, strength, and durability. The resin fillings are made to closely match the shade of natural teeth, making for a seamless and discreet repair.

Gold, on the other hand, has been used as a dental filling material since time immemorial, due to its strength and durability. Gold inlays and crowns are known to last for 20 years or longer. It is the perfect option for patients who can afford it. However, it takes multiple dentist visits for the procedure when gold fillings are used.

Dr. Matt Sanderson from Apple Dental talks about how patients can choose between resin composites and gold fillings by saying, “They each have their pros and cons. While your budget plays a huge role in determining what you can opt for, gold fillings are conspicuous because of their distinct color. The latter might be a turn-off for some patients. If you are still torn on the choice that is right for you, you can rest assured that I and the rest of the doctors here at Apple Dental are always available to guide you based on what is most recommended for your long-term dental health.”

Patients scheduled to get dental implants can plan to make single or multiple trips to the clinic based on their choice of material. Regardless of what they go for, the procedure begins with the doctors numbing the area around the tooth and then removing the decay present. The surface of the tooth is then thoroughly cleaned to prepare it for the filling. After the layering is complete, the excess material is trimmed off and polished for a smooth finish.

Apple Dental offers its patients several general dentistry services such as dental cleaning, dental exams, dental fillings, endodontic treatments, extractions, emergency dental services, as well as cosmetic dentistry services such as teeth whitening, crowns and bridges, dental implants, partials, and dentures, Botox®, and Stabili-Teeth™.

Patients in Monroe, LA, and surrounding areas have given the dental practice their overwhelming seal of approval through hundreds of 5-star reviews. On its Google Business Profile, where it has a near-perfect overall rating of 4.9 out of 5.0 from nearly 1000 reviews, patients talk about the helpful and friendly nature of the clinic’s staff, the considerate and knowledgeable doctors, and the wide range of affordable dental services.

A recent 5-star review of Apple Dental says, “Honestly can't think of anything that was bad during the visit. From walking in the door to walking back out everyone was friendly, and everything worked like clockwork. Kiersten was very friendly and a very gentle dental hygienist. Dr. Haynes was also very friendly. For one of the first times in a long time, I don't fear my next visit.”

Another client talks about how the dental clinic’s staff made the experience fun for their children by saying, “I'd most definitely recommend this place! I love how friendly & interactive they are. They made sure to make my children feel comfortable & found ways to loop them in on the process. If you haven't already, I suggest you make an appointment. Their services are fast, and the waterfront view while getting your teeth cleaned is a plus too.”
