Tooth Colored Fillings
Why Dr Dilmohit Singh
Tooth-colored fillings, often referred to as white fillings, are a popular and aesthetically pleasing option for restoring teeth damaged by dental caries (cavities) or other minor dental issues. Here’s some information about tooth-colored fillings and their benefits:
- Materials Used for Tooth-Colored Fillings:
- 1. Composite Resin: Composite resin is a tooth-colored material made from a mixture of plastic and glass particles. It is widely used for tooth-colored fillings due to its excellent aesthetic properties and bonding capabilities.
- 2. Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC): Glass ionomer cement is another tooth-colored filling material that contains glass particles and organic acids. It is often used for fillings, especially in areas of low to moderate stress.
- Advantages of Tooth-Colored Fillings:
- Aesthetic Appearance: Tooth-colored fillings closely match the natural color of teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding tooth structure.
- Bonding: These fillings can bond directly to the tooth, which can provide additional strength and support.
- Minimal Tooth Removal: Less tooth structure often needs to be removed compared to traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, allowing for more conservative treatment.
- Shade Matching:
- Dentists have access to a range of shades and translucencies of composite resin and glass ionomer cement, allowing them to select the most appropriate match for a patient’s natural teeth.
- The ability to match shades and mimic natural tooth structure makes tooth-colored fillings an excellent choice for front teeth and other visible areas.
- Routine Procedure:
- Tooth-colored fillings are commonly used to treat dental caries and are considered a routine procedure at Dr. Dilmohit Singh’s clinic.
- The decayed or damaged tooth structure is removed, and the tooth is prepared for the filling material.
- The chosen tooth-colored material is then applied in layers and shaped to restore the tooth’s form and function.
- A curing light is used to harden and bond the material to the tooth.
- Tooth-colored fillings have become the preferred choice for many patients due to their natural appearance and conservative nature. They not only restore dental health but also provide a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result. Patients who require fillings can discuss their options with Dr. Dilmohit Singh to determine the best choice for their specific needs and preferences.
