What is Aesthetic Filling and Who Is It Applied for whom?

Types of light-hardened fillings that are the same color as the tooth are called composite fillings. They are applied on the tooth with a special adhesive. It is an aesthetic and economical treatment option. There are different types for the anterior and posterior zones. They can be easily applied to all teeth in the mouth. Due to their structure, they are not as strong as porcelain. Change of the colour  may occur due to substances containing coloring agents such as tea and coffee. With a well-made polish, they can be used for many years without breaking.

Composite resins or tooth-coloured fillers provide good strength and resistance to fracture in small to medium-sized fillings that must withstand moderate stress from chewing stress. They can be used on anterior or posterior teeth. It is a good choice for patients who prefer their fillings to look more natural . 

Composites cost more than amalgam. Composite white fillings are used in aesthetic fillings because they are tooth-colored, and there is no difference. Sensitivity may occur in the tooth shortly after the filling is made. Mostly this is temporary . 

Better than the best filling is the individual’s own tooth. Our own tooth is better for us.  Therefore, we need to take care of our oral health.
