Benefits of Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Aesthetics
Versatility
Dental Bonding
Composite fillings adhere to the tooth structure, adding to its strength.
Tooth-sparing preparation
When eliminating cavities and preparing for the filling, less tooth structure may need to be removed than silver amalgam fillings.
Types of Fillings for Tooth
There are various types of dental fillings. The materials utilised vary by area.
Front tooth fillings
If the fillings are placed in the front of the mouth, composite or tooth-coloured fillings are prefered.
Back tooth fillings
Silver fillings are advised for applications in the back of the mouth, such as the molars. Silver can resist a lot of chewing and crushing.
Procedure for Tooth Filling
Your Warrnambool dentist will discuss your options before any filling treatment to determine the best filling type.
A local anaesthetic will be applied to numb the tooth and surrounding tissues during your dental visit. The decaying areas will subsequently be extracted, typically using a dental drill.
After the strong tooth structure has been preserved, the cavity is cleaned and dried before filling material is inserted.
Before testing and ensuring your bite is comfortable, your Warrnambool dentist will shape and cure the filling to harden it.
Keeping Teeth Healthy and Avoiding the Need for Tooth Fillings
It is crucial to take precautions! To avoid tooth decay and other dental issues, we give the following suggestions:
- Brush twice a day, taking 2 minutes to clean all surfaces of your teeth thoroughly.
- Floss at least once a day to eradicate plaque from between your teeth.
- Regular hygiene care from a professional. The frequency of these visits is decided on a case-by-case basis.
- Sugary meals and drinks can cause cavities, so avoid them.
- Use toothpaste with fluoride or xylitol.
- Two times a year, see your Warrnambool dentist.
Don’t let a small cavity turn into a complete tooth loss. Treat decay right away with our high-quality tooth-coloured fillings for further protection and restoration of your treasured teeth.
Scheduling a dental appointment with your Warrnambool dentist is the best way to discover whether tooth-coloured fillings are suitable.
