Addressing Common Dental Problems with Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings have become popular for fixing routine dental issues in order to keep a natural look. DrGobran makes use of advanced materials and techniques in order to make fillings that match your teeth. This article will discuss the advantages of using tooth-colored fillings, common problems that can be treated with these types of fillings, and what the procedure entails.
What are Tooth Colored Fillings?
Tooth colored fillings also known as composite resin fillings are made from plastics and glass substances blended together to resemble natural teeth. They are used to fix cavities, chips, cracks and other small dental problems without standing out in the mouth.
Benefits of Tooth Colored Fillings
Natural Appearance: These types of filling blend seamlessly with your pemanent teeth especially those at the front.
Minimally Invasive: The placement process for tooth-colored filling involves less removal of healthy tooth structure thereby conserving more natural tooth tissue.
Durability: Composite resin material used for making these filings are tough enough to withstand regular biting and chewing forces thus they are desirable for small-to-medium-sized restorations.
Bonding Strength: The material is directly bonded onto the tooth offering additional support and strength to the affected teeth.
Versatile: Cavities, gaps between teeth and chipped or cracked teeth can be addressed by tooth-colored fillings among others.
Procedure for Tooth-Colored Filling
At DrGobran, you start your treatment with a consultation session where we assess your oral health status as well as your concerns before we decide whether this technique works best for you or not.
Preparation: Any decayed or damaged tissues on the tooth surface must first be removed before applying filling into a cavity area. Before getting started we shall ensure that it is devoid of any dirt or moisture particles within its surface layer.
Application—Composite resins will then be applied incrementally on top of an already prepared ar-ea after which the composite resin is shaped into the contour of the natural tooth. As each layer goes on, it becomes solid through a specialized light.
Finishing Touches: In order to smoothen and integrate it seamlessly with your original teeth structure, we will do some polishing after putting in place your fillings. Besides, we shall evaluate your bite to ascertain its alignment and comfortability.
Post-Treatment Care: You will be given instructions for care after receiving a filling. Good oral hygiene and regular checks by DrGobran can help your filling last longer.
Dental problems you can fix with tooth colored fillings

Cracked or Chipped Teeth: The look and function of teeth may be restored by using composite resin to mend tiny damages such as cracks or chips.
Smile Makeover Gaps and Spaces: Small gaps between the front teeth may be closed up using these types of fillings thus improving smile attractiveness in general.

Alternatives to Tooth-Colored Fillings
Amalgam Fillings: These are silvery types made from a combination of metals. Although long-lasting, they do not possess an appealing appearance like their counterparts called tooth colored fillings.
Dental Crowns: These are caps customarily designed to cover up damaged or weakened teeth so that they may regain their original condition. They work best for big restorations or badly damaged teeth compared to other options such as those previously mentioned.
Inlays and Onlays: These are customized indirect restorations to fit the area affected. They are used when the cavities are larger or there have been structural issues and they provide both strength and attractiveness.
