Aesthetic Fillers
What are Aesthetic Fillings and How Are They Applied?
Dental aesthetic fillings are procedures performed with materials used to improve the appearance of teeth. These fillings are usually made with materials such as composite resin or porcelain and applied to the tooth with a special technique by the dentist.
For Which Conditions Are Aesthetic Fillings Preferred?
Dental aesthetic fillings are used to correct small cracks, gaps, discolouration and deformities in the teeth. Dentists recommend these fillings according to the aesthetic needs of patients and the condition of their teeth.
What is the Difference Between Composite and Porcelain Filling?
Composite fillings are usually made in colours that match the tooth colour and are applied directly to the tooth. Porcelain fillings, on the other hand, are specially prepared in the laboratory and then placed on the tooth. Porcelain fillings may be more durable, but the most suitable for each situation is determined by your dentist.
What are the Advantages of Aesthetic Fillings?
Dental aesthetic fillings provide aesthetic results quickly and effectively. They offer a minimally invasive option to straighten teeth and beautify the smile. In addition, composite fillings affect less tooth tissue because they are applied directly to the tooth.
