    Tooth Colored Restoration

    Cosmetic Dentistry

    What is Tooth-Colored Restoration?

    A composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to treat damaged or carious teeth. Composites are often used to improve cosmetic smiles by changing the color of teeth or reshaping malformed teeth.

    Reasons for composite fillings

    Composite fillings, which merge smoothly with natural teeth, provide both cosmetic appeal and durability for correcting a variety of dental disorders. Reasons to choose them include:

    • Chipped teeth.
    • Closing up the gap between two teeth.
    • Cracked or broken teeth.
    • Decayed teeth.
    • Teeth are worn.

    Advantages:

    • Composite fillings can be accurately matched to the color of your natural teeth.
    • The composite micromechanical attaches to the tooth structure. This strengthens the tooth structure and restores its physical integrity.
    • A composite restoration method requires the removal of a less healthy tooth.
    • A lower-cost and more conservative alternative to dental crowns.
    • Composite fillings can be used to restore chipped, cracked, or worn teeth.
    • Minor damage to a composite filling can be fixed by applying more composite.
    • Mercury exposure was reduced for both the patient and the dentist.
    • Composite Restoration will not corrode.

    Disadvantages:

    • They require more time and effort for your dentist to apply to your tooth.
    • You may have minor tooth sensitivity after the operation.
    • They wear out more quickly than metal fillings, especially if you grind and chew a lot.
    • They may stain as a result of repeated and/or prolonged exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods.
    • They can degenerate as a result of repeated and/or prolonged exposure to high-alcohol beverages.
    • They are more expensive than silver fillings.

    Step-by-Step procedure of Composite Filling:

    The procedure for having composite fillings is quite simple and generally involves the following steps:

    1. Numbing the area:  The dentist will apply a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding tissue.
    2. Removing decay:  Using an airotor or other devices, the dentist will remove the decayed section of the tooth, leaving a clean and healthy surface for the filling.  
    3. Tooth preparation:  A specific gel will be used to etch the tooth, creating a rough surface on which the composite resin may bond.
    4. Applying the filling: The dentist will gently apply the composite resin over the prepared tooth, shaping and polishing it to obtain the desired appearance.
    5. Curing the filling: A special light will be utilized to harden the composite resin, resulting in a strong and long-lasting bond.
    6. Checking and adjusting:The dentist will examine your bite and make any required modifications to guarantee optimal alignment and comfort. 

    Duration – The complete treatment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, depending on the size and location of the filling.

    Aftercare:

    After receiving composite fillings, it is critical to follow proper aftercare procedures to improve healing and extend the life of the fillings.

    1. For the first 24 hours, avoid chewing hard or sticky foods.
    2. Maintain good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing on a regular basis.
    3. Apply fluoride mouthwash or gel as directed by your dentist.
    4. Attend frequent dentist appointments, such as check-ups and cleanings.

    Following these rules and practicing proper dental hygiene can ensure the success and longevity of your composite fillings.

    Composite fillings are a popular option for tooth-colored restoration because of their natural appearance, durability, and safety. By following your dentist’s advice and practicing proper dental hygiene, you can reap the benefits of composite fillings for many years.
