Tooth coloured fillings are an aesthetic alternative to amalgam (silver) fillings.
In the past amalgam was the strongest material available to fill cavities. With major advancements in technology, tooth coloured fillings (aka resin fillings) are now available.
This advancement allows the Brunswick Dental Group team to place restorations that are strong, durable and virtually invisible to the eye. These tooth coloured fillings are suitable for small to medium restorations in the front and back teeth and importantly they can be completed in one appointment.
The procedure involves:
- The removal of the decayed or fractured tooth substance
- The cleansing and etching of the area for placement
- Shade selection
- The incremental addition of the resin material
- The curing of this material with a blue light
- The adjustment and smoothing of this restoration
On completion you will have a restoration that is virtually invisible. You should care for this just like you would for your natural teeth.
