Dental fillings are a common restorative procedure used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma. This treatment involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a material that restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function. Fillings are essential for maintaining oral health, preventing further decay, and preserving the structural integrity of the tooth.
There are several types of materials used for dental fillings, each with its unique benefits:
The process of getting a dental filling typically involves several steps:
Dental bonding stands out as an effective treatment offering a non-invasive solution to minor dental imperfections. This process involves applying a composite resin to the tooth, creating a new surface layer. Meticulously colour-matched to the exact shade of your teeth, the resin enhances your natural smile with precision. Dental bonding is a quick and painless procedure that offers immediate results.
Composite bonding is a procedure where the dentist applies/bonds a tooth-coloured composite resin to your tooth. The tooth is prepared using a minimally invasive technique. This is mainly to roughen the tooth surface and to enhance the bonding. A conditioning gel is applied, and the composite resin is placed, molded and then hardened using an ultraviolet light. After this, the composite resin is polished, contoured and smoothed.
Both fillings and bonding effectively restore the natural function and appearance of damaged teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. These treatments can correct a wide range of dental issues, from cavities and minor fractures to cosmetic imperfections.
These procedures are minimally invasive, often requiring little to no anesthesia and preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. This approach reduces discomfort and recovery time while maintaining the integrity of your teeth.
With advances in dental materials, today’s fillings and bonding solutions are durable and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These treatments provide long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results, ensuring that your smile remains beautiful and functional for years to come.
After your treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to ensure the longevity of your fillings and bonded teeth. Here are some tips for proper aftercare:
