Esthetic Fillings

Esthetic fillings are modern filling materials used to repair decayed, cracked, or damaged areas of the teeth. These fillings, which are tooth-colored and aesthetically compatible, provide ideal solutions in terms of both appearance and function. The esthetic fillings offered at our clinic aim to best meet your dental health and aesthetic needs.

What are Esthetic Fillings?

Esthetic fillings are filling materials used to repair decayed or damaged areas while preserving the natural appearance of the teeth. They are usually made from materials such as composite resin, porcelain, or glass ionomer. Esthetic fillings match the natural color of the teeth and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Advantages of Esthetic Fillings

Natural Appearance: Esthetic fillings blend with the natural color of the teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing result.
Durability: Modern esthetic fillings are highly durable, providing long-lasting treatment.
Minimal Tissue Loss: Since only a small amount of the tooth needs to be removed, natural tooth structure is preserved.
Quick Application: The application process is usually short, allowing patients to quickly return to their normal activities.
Fast Curing: Esthetic fillings usually harden quickly through special lights or chemical reactions.

Types of Esthetic Fillings

Composite Filling: Matches the natural color of the tooth and is used to repair decayed or damaged areas. Light-cured composite fillings harden under a special light, providing long-lasting results.
Porcelain Filling: Made from porcelain material with high aesthetic properties. It matches the natural color of the tooth and is strong and durable, especially preferred for larger cavities.
Glass Ionomer Filling: Releases fluoride, helping to prevent tooth decay. It is usually used in primary teeth and small cavities.

How are Esthetic Fillings Applied?

Examination and Planning: Your dentist evaluates the tooth and determines if it is suitable for an esthetic filling. A treatment plan is created using X-rays or other imaging techniques.
Preparation: The decayed or damaged area is cleaned, and the surrounding tissue is prepared.
Application of Filling: The chosen esthetic material is applied to the damaged area of the tooth and shaped to follow the natural contours of the tooth.
Curing: The filling material is hardened using a special light or chemical reaction, ensuring it is securely bonded to the tooth.
Shaping and Polishing: Once the filling hardens, your dentist may adjust its shape and polish it to a smooth finish.

Post-Care for Esthetic Fillings

Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is important for the longevity of the fillings. Brushing and flossing are essential.
Check-ups: Regular dental check-ups should be scheduled. Your dentist will evaluate the condition of the esthetic filling and make any necessary adjustments.
Diet: It is recommended to avoid hard and sticky foods. This extends the life of the filling and protects the health of the tooth.
