Tooth Fillings London

At Art Dentistry, dental composite is utilised to make white or tooth-coloured fillings, which are used to repair chipped and fractured teeth. They can be coloured to match the original colour of the tooth and provide a natural and healthier alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. They enable the preservation of your native tooth with a minimally intrusive restoration.

These fillings can be placed in the front or back of the mouth. They restore the strength and functionality of damaged teeth while giving them a more natural appearance. White fillings are a common procedure used by our dentist to repair chipped or fractured teeth. It can also be used to fill cavities in the mouth brought on by tooth decay, realign uneven teeth, and close spaces between teeth.

White Tooth Fillings' Benefits

These fillings seem more natural when compared to amalgam or metallic fillings.
Amalgam fillings might eventually turn black and are very obvious in the mouth.
White fillings complement the colour of your teeth and look natural.
White fillings lack mercury, whereas metallic ones do. Some people believe that the mercury level of white fillings is harmful to their health.
These fillings strengthen the tooth.
To help stabilise your teeth, glass can also be put into some layers of silicon dioxide.
Silicon dioxide does not conduct heat or cold, in contrast to metallic fillings. You will not have tooth sensitivity following treatment.
These fillings usually solidify rapidly, usually in a matter of hours.

When applying composite fillings, the following procedure is followed:

Getting the tooth ready: Teeth with decay can be filled, and fillings are usually placed in a single visit. Your dentist will first remove any decay from the affected area, and then various dental filling materials will be applied to fill the cavity. Composite fillings can be utilised in place of outmoded metallic or silver fillings to improve aesthetic appearance.

Apply bonding: To give a tooth the correct shape, an irregularly shaped tooth might have a composite filling bonded to it.

Apply dental composite: Chipped or fractured teeth can be restored with dental composite fillings. They make the tooth both aesthetically beautiful and functional by restoring it to its original tint.

Appropriate restoration: You can close any gaps between your teeth with a composite filling. The right medication will be given for protection if the decay is near the tooth's nerve.

Final shaping: The filler material can be moulded into the shape of a veneer. After a composite filling is positioned, polished, and shaped, the tooth will regain its original shape and functionality. This is a quick and inexpensive way to receive a smile makeover instead of porcelain veneers.
