Fillings

Who can have a smile design?

Although composite fillings are not as strong as amalgam at first, they are quite strong and can last for many years. Most composite fillings last at least 5 years. There are many examples where they can last 10 years or more. Porcelain fillings, on the other hand, are very durable due to the material they are made of and can be used for many years as they do not shrink during hardening. Thanks to the new porcelain and composite filling materials developed today, their service life is much longer than the above-mentioned periods.

 

How is aesthetic filling application different from amalgam filling?

Amalgam fillings have been used for about 150 years, but their use is gradually decreasing due to aesthetic reasons related to their color and because it is necessary to remove more tooth tissue. Aesthetic fillings are an advanced procedure, also called tooth-colored fillings. It is a better option compared to the traditional metal amalgam method, which helps treat a damaged tooth and prevents further damage. Porcelain and composite fillings come to mind when it comes to aesthetic fillings.

The color of composite resin or porcelain fillings blends in with your natural tooth. Composite filling is a versatile material for repairing tooth wear or bruxism. Porcelain filling also provides the advantages of composite fillings, but gives longer lasting results compared to composite filling and is very durable. Since these fillings are tooth-colored, they can be applied to your front or back teeth. Aesthetic fillings provide better results than metal amalgams.

Aesthetic fillings have a number of advantages over amalgam restorations. These are;

-Excellent color matching with natural teeth

-It can be applied by removing very little material in the front and back group teeth. Thus, tooth tissue is preserved as much as possible

-Can create a stronger chemical and micromechanical bond with enamel and dentin with adhesive adhesives.

Therefore, aesthetic fillings are the best choice if you want the most natural restoration possible and want your fillings to be unnoticeable.
