At Bundall Dental and Implants, we are pleased to introduce tooth-coloured fillings as a modern approach to cavity treatment and tooth restoration. This advanced dental care solution provides aesthetic and functional benefits that make it great for our patients.
What are Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings are also known as composite or white fillings. They consist of a mixture of ceramic, plastic, and glass particles. These materials are specially chosen so that they can reflect the natural teeth and provide a restoration virtually unnoticeable among the surrounding tooth structure.
Advantages of Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Aesthetics: These are mixed in with your natural teeth, making them an excellent choice for the front of your mouth.
Durability: Modern-day composite materials are as strong as traditional amalgam fillings and can withstand the pressures of everyday use.
Conservation of Tooth Structure: Composite tooth fillings require removal of lesser quantities of healthy tooth structure and thereby help to maintain the integrity of your tooth.
Strong Bonding: These fillings bond directly with the surface of a tooth, providing a better seal against further decay.
Mercury-Free: A metal-free alternative for patients worried about mercury content in dental materials.
Versatility: Besides treating cavities, these fillings can also fix chipped, cracked, or worn teeth.
What to Expect During a Tooth-Coloured Filling Procedure
When you visit Bundall Dental and Implants for a tooth-coloured filling, you can expect the following:
Consultation: We will look at your tooth and explain the treatment alternatives based upon your case.
Preparation: The affected area will be numbed to ensure your utmost comfort during treatment.
Decayed Tissue Removal: We will meticulously take out the decayed or damaged portion of your tooth.
Application of Composite: The multi-layered structure of composite material hardens one layer at a time using special light.
Shaping and polishing: At the end, the dental filling shall be shaped to match the contour of the affected tooth and polished for a smooth look.
How long do tooth-colour fillings last
With proper care, these fillings may last five to 10 years or even more. Good oral hygiene that includes brushing, flossing, and periodic dental check-ups will provide longevity for your fillings.
