Dental fillings are an excellent option for repairing a tooth compromised with decay. Tooth-coloured fillings offer a durable and aesthetic option for restoring your smile. Here's what you should know about fixing your smile.
When We Recommend Tooth-Coloured Fillings in Chelsea Heights
Dental fillings are ideal for teeth with small areas of decay. Our dentists can remove the decayed area and fill your tooth with composite resin material. Composite resin bonds directly to your tooth, adding strength and durability. Our dentists in Chelsea Heights can also customise it to blend seamlessly with your tooth so it doesn't detract from your smile.
With the proper home care and routine dental check-ups, tooth-coloured fillings can last several years before needing replacement.
The Process of Completing a Tooth-Coloured Filling
Getting a composite filling is relatively straightforward, and we can typically complete the procedure during one visit. Our dentists will clear the decay from your tooth, ensuring it is bacteria-free. Next, they'll customise the composite material to match your tooth and carefully place it into the impacted area. Then, they will use a special light to cure and harden the composite material.
Finally, your dentist will smooth and polish the new filling so it blends with your smile and make any adjustments to ensure you can bite and chew comfortably as before tooth decay.
Composite Resin Bonding
Our dentist can also use composite resin material to eliminate minor cosmetic concerns and improve your smile. Some of the problems we can fix are:
- Chipped and broken teeth
- Gaps and spaces between teeth
- Excessively worn teeth
- Tooth size and shape discrepancies
- Stained or discoloured teeth
- Slight tooth alignment issues
Dental bonding tends to be non-invasive and less expensive than other cosmetic dental procedures.
