WHEN PATIENT CAME IN, BROKEN FILLING TAKEN OUT, NEW FILLING PUT IN
Cavities are a common problem among us all. It is important to fill these cavities before they are give us pain or even more trouble.
Composite
A composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is moulded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied, an LED light is used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
Composite resin comes in many shades and colours that can be matched to the colour of your original teeth, allowing composite fillings to be used on your front or highly visible teeth.
It is a safe, affordable and attractive solution for many dental problems. The length of time needed depends on the size of the restoration. Bonding can be used to cover cracks, gap in the teeth and in decays.
How it’s done?
The procedure for inserting white fillings is quick and painless. Tooth-coloured resin is built up in your tooth, one later at a time. Each later is hardened with a special blue light before the next layer is applied.
The larger the size being filled, the longer it will take, but most procedures will be completed within an hour. Once filled completely, the filling will be shaped to fit in with your bite and polished. Your white filling should last for several years. It will discolour as any normal tooth would from drinking caffeine, red wine, tea or other foods and drunks which stain teeth.
Regular check-ups can prolong the life of your white filling and keep it invisible and clean for a whiter and better smile.
