TOOTH COLOURED FILLING
About Tooth Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular dental treatment used to repair and restore
decayed, damaged, or discolored teeth.
They are made from a mixture of plastic and glass, designed to match the natural color of your teeth.
These fillings offer an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings.
Preferred because they require less removal of the tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings and can bond directly to the tooth, providing more support.
Essentially, it’s a replacement tooth root made of titanium or titanium alloy that is placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line.
Once in place, it provides a stable foundation for artificial teeth or bridges.
How its done?
Local Anasthesia, may or may not be required, depening how much decay there is.
The decay is removed via drills, followed by placement of the filling material.
The filling material is then made hard or set by specific wavelenght of light, followed by making your filling smooth and adjusted to your bite.
