Esthetic Composite Fillings
Beautiful Life-Like Restorations
Dental Restorations (Tooth Colored Fillings)
We offer high-quality tooth-colored fillings to restore the health and appearance of your teeth. These fillings, also known as composite and glass ionomer restorations, blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for cavities and minor damage
Types of Tooth-Colored Fillings:
Composite Resin Fillings: Made from a blend of plastic and fine glass particles, these fillings provide a natural look and strong durability, making them ideal for visible teeth.
Glass Ionomer Fillings (e.g., GC Fuji II LC): These fillings release fluoride to help protect teeth from further decay and are often used for non-load-bearing restorations, root surface fillings, and pediatric dentistry.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings:
Natural Appearance: Matches the shade of your natural teeth for a discreet restoration.
Durable & Long-Lasting: Composite fillings provide strength for daily chewing, while glass ionomer fillings offer excellent adhesion and fluoride release.
Preserves Tooth Structure: Requires less removal of healthy tooth material compared to metal fillings.
Mercury-Free & Safe: A biocompatible alternative to traditional amalgam fillings.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for treating cavities, small chips, root surface caries, and minor cosmetic enhancements.
Esthetic packable composite comes in different shades and translucencies
Glass ionomer like GC Fuji II LC is a great choice for deep cavities
The Filling Process:
Examination & Diagnosis: We assess the tooth and determine the most suitable filling material.
Tooth Preparation: The affected area is carefully cleaned, and decay is removed.
Filling Placement: The chosen material (composite or glass ionomer) is applied and hardened using a curing light if necessary.
Shaping & Polishing: We shape the filling to match your bite and polish it for a smooth finish.
Amalgam fillings replaced by composite to enhance esthetics and they are mercury free
Caring for Your Tooth-Colored Fillings:
Brush and floss daily to maintain oral health and prolong the life of your filling.
Avoid chewing excessively hard foods to prevent chipping.
