DENTAL FILLINGS (COMPOSITE)

Aesthetic filling, also known as composite filling, is a dental restoration treatment. This treatment method is also a suitable option for people who want their teeth to be reshaped.

What is Composite Filling?

Dental fillings are used to restore the natural form and function of teeth damaged by caries or trauma. Composite material is an aesthetic restorative material with properties similar to the physical and mechanical properties of dental tissue, which was developed as an alternative to previously used materials such as amalgam and gold. Composite fillings, which have far superior properties over the years, have become almost impossible to distinguish from natural teeth. What are the advantages of choosing composites in dental fillings?

Aesthetic restoration of teeth with fractures, caries or developmental defects that cannot be distinguished from natural ones can be achieved.
Thanks to the superior adhesion ability of the material to the tooth, the restoration can be completed without damaging the tooth tissues.
Thanks to the aesthetic properties of the material, deformities in the teeth can be removed in a very short time and painlessly.

Who is Composite Filling Applied?

Composite filling, which is applied to eliminate deformations in the tooth structure, can also be applied to people who want to have a more aesthetic smile.
Today, the most preferred reasons for composite fillings are as follows;

Filling the cavities formed as a result of decayed tooth treatments
Repair of broken or cracked teeth in front teeth
Improving the appearance of discolored teeth
Closing the spaces between teeth
Bonding of brackets in orthodontic treatments
Making teeth appear longer
Changing the existing tooth appearance
As an aesthetic alternative to different filling types

Things to Do After Composite Filling

After the composite filling, the patient can continue his daily life and eat, but it is recommended not to consume hard foods. People who have large filling applications, especially in the front teeth, should avoid making hard biting or plucking movements.

Drinks such as cola, tea, coffee and habits such as cigarettes that may cause discoloration after composite filling should be avoided. Otherwise, the filling can be colored in a short time.
The composite filling, which is combined with the tooth on a chemical basis by light, is finalized by the dentist by making minor corrections and polishing.
