Cosmetic fillings are special materials designed to closely match the natural color of teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. They are commonly used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay or fractures, or to repair damaged teeth.
With cosmetic fillings, you can restore both the function and appearance of your teeth, returning them to their original aesthetic and functional state.
Types of Cosmetic Fillings
There are several types of cosmetic dental fillings, including:
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings or resin Fillings are the most common type and are primarily used to repair small cavities and modify the shape of teeth, especially front teeth. These fillings come in a wide range of colors to match the natural appearance of the teeth.
They offer good durability and long-lasting strength.
Composite fillings are a modern type of cosmetic dental filling that combines durability with aesthetic appeal. They are used to fill cavities and repair cracked or damaged teeth.
These fillings closely resemble natural teeth and are resistant to chipping. They can be used for both front and back teeth.
Ceramic Fillings
Ceramic fillings are made from porcelain and are considered among the strongest options for resisting wear compared to other types of fillings. They also help maintain the aesthetic quality of teeth due to their stain resistance.
Key benefits of ceramic fillings include:
- They do not change color or fade over time.
- They are suitable for treating large cavities in teeth.
Glass Ionomer
Glass ionomer fillings are made from a blend of glass and acrylic. They are commonly used for children whose teeth are still developing. These fillings release fluoride into the teeth, helping to protect them from further decay. However, their lifespan is limited, lasting only a few years due to their weakness compared to composite resin, making them prone to cracking and wear. Additionally, they do not provide as natural an appearance as composite resin fillings.
For those suffering from tooth decay or cavities, don’t hesitate to visit Dr. Wael Ramadan’s clinics (ProCare Dental Clinics). The clinic uses the latest technologies, including the “Cure Light Fizz Blue” device from a Swiss company, which provides the best results due to its effectiveness.
