Dental cosmetic fillings are used to obtain a natural and aesthetic smile design. Composite tooth-colored resin is used for this purpose. Composite white filling is the most commonly used material. The composite filling is hardened with halogen light and chemically bonded to the tooth.
Why is a Treatment with Cosmetic Fillings Preferred?
The fillings prepared for treatment are in the form of natural teeth in shape and colour, the filling borders are not noticeable and the patients cannot distinguish the filling from their own tooth. For all these reasons, cosmetic dental filling is often preferred.
What are the Features of Cosmetic Dental Filling?
Cosmetic dental fillings are the same colour as natural teeth. For this reason, they are not noticeable from the outside.
- They provide an aesthetic and natural appearance.
- They are compatible with all tissues in the mouth.
- They are suitable for all ages.
- They do not cause an allergic reaction.
- They are compatible with tooth colour and structure. Therefore, they are applied quickly.
Are They Durable?
Although metal fillings were accepted as more durable and functional in previous years, developing technology has enabled the reinforcement of the material content and the production of composite materials that are much longer lasting, aesthetic, healthy and durable than metal fillings. However, attention should still be paid to oral and dental hygiene and regular dental check-ups should be performed.
How Long Do Cosmetic Dental Fillings Last?
The lifetime of the filling is related to the level of oral care of the person. These fillings, which do not cause any harm to the teeth and gums, should be cleaned as carefully as natural teeth. Teeth should be brushed, dental floss should be used, controls and dental check-ups should be done every 6 months. In this way, cosmetic fillings can last for 5-10 years. Therefore, the lifetime of the filling depends on the patient’s oral care. In addition, it is not necessary to change the cosmetic filling as long as the teeth are routinely maintained and no decay is detected in the tooth.
Dental Care After Cosmetic (Composite White) Filling
Clean your teeth with toothpaste and interdental spaces with dental floss. Avoid using a hard toothbrush and toothpastes containing abrasive materials. In this way, polished surface of the filled tooth can wear off. Thus, the polish can be lost. We also recommend you to polish teeth with cosmetic fillings twice a year.
Do They Fall Out?
Cosmetic composite fillings are bonded to the tooth with very strong chemical bonds. Therefore, such fillings made with high quality materials do not fall easily.
