Quality Cosmetic Fillings - Boise Family Dental Care

What Makes a Filling Cosmetic?

We want you to understand that there is no difference between a cosmetic filling and a regular filling with regards to quality, appearance, or price at our office. We give our patients the very best every time! Unfortunately, insurance companies draw a distinction:

Regular Filling: A filling due to tooth decay.

Cosmetic Filling (Elective Filling): Choosing to get a filling to improve the appearance of your smile.

*Insurance providers usually cover the replacement of amalgam fillings that are beginning to fail. We do not do amalgam (silver) fillings in our office. Any filling you receive at our office will be a composite (white) filling.

What would be some reasons a person might elect to get cosmetic fillings?

Replacing amalgam (silver) fillings with composite (white) fillings because of aesthetic reasons.
Some people also choose to replace their amalgam fillings due to concerns about the mercury that is part of the amalgam mixture. Studies have been done that fall on both sides of this issue and an open conversation with your doctor is essential. Again, we do not do amalgam fillings in our office. Any filling you receive at our office will be a composite filling.

I could not have been more impressed with Dr. Edminsten and his assistant Erika. I’m from out of the area, but I was in Boise for meetings when I lost a filling and broke my tooth. Since I needed to be in Boise for several days, It couldn’t wait until I got home. My wife called over a dozen dentist offices before finding Boise Family Dental Care. The receptionist was extremely nice and said they would squeeze me in. When I arrived, they were so friendly and quick to get me back. Dr. Edminsten was very personable and took time to explain my opinions. They got me fixed up and on my way in less than an hour. What impressed me most, is they knew I was from out of town and would probably never be back. However, EVERYONE treated me like I was their most valued patient.

I have been coming to Boise Family Dental for four years now and have always had such a positive experience coming in. All the hygienists are friendly and genuinely care about making your experience comfortable. Dr. Crump and Dr. Edminsten do such a great job at making their patients comfortable. I recently had to get my wisdom teeth removed and Dr. Edminsten made that experience so easy. He was very communicative and made sure I was 100% good the entire time. I cannot recommend Boise Family Dental enough!

Had a great experience recently with Dr. Crump and team!
I had a crown procedure that went very smooth. I was expecting a temporary crown and having to wait a few weeks for the permanent crown……I found out that the crown was created in the office which saved me another appointment and the procedure went perfectly. The other team members that assisted him and also the person who performed the cleaning did a great job. Highly recommend this Dental Office.

Love Dr. Crump. I have had two wisdom tooth extracted in the last year and they have both healed up very quickly and with no pain at all compared to one that was extracted by a different Dr. Great work and friendly staff.

I had the best experience at this office. The staff are very courteous and I loved how they explain to you all the different options you have, treatment, everything is amazing, I was very impressed. I had a procedure done on a Friday, and the next day the doctor called to check how I was doing. It is very nice to also know you have a dentist to count on over the weekend if you have an emergency. Pricing is also very reasonable, and they do an awesome job overall. I’m so happy I picked them!
