What are dental fillings?
Virtually invisible tooth repair
Dental fillings are fundamental in modern dentistry. They are white resin material fillers designed to restore teeth that have been affected by decay, fractures, or damage or serve as a coverage of teeth imperfections, either shape, discolorations or decalcifications.
Essentially, dental fillings are like a protective shield for your teeth, preventing further deterioration while restoring their strength and function. Resin fillings are safe, strong and highly esthetic and they mimic natural tooth shape and color.
What is the difference between dental fillings and bondings?
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are primarily used to restore teeth after decay has been removed. They “fill” the space where the decayed tooth material was, preventing further decay and restoring the tooth’s integrity.
Dental Bondings
Dental bondings are primarily cosmetic and are used to repair chipped, cracked, discolored, or misshapen teeth. They can also be used to close gaps between teeth or cover exposed roots due to gum recession.
While both dental fillings and bondings employ composite resin, fillings focus on restoring the tooth after decay, and bondings aim to enhance the tooth’s appearance or repair minor damages. Your dentist will recommend the best treatment based on your individual dental needs and aesthetic desires.
What are some short and long term
benefits of dental cleanings?
Immediate Relief
Dental fillings provide prompt relief from toothaches and discomfort, allowing you to enjoy pain-free eating and drinking.
Restored Functionality
Fillings restore the natural function of your teeth, making it easier to bite, chew, and speak without hindrance.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Our practice offers tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a beautiful, natural appearance.
Preserved Natural Teeth
Dental fillings help preserve your natural teeth, preventing the need for extractions or more invasive treatments.
Prevention of Further Decay
Fillings seal off cavities, preventing the spread of decay and the development of new cavities.
Cost-Effective
Addressing cavities early with fillings is a cost-effective approach compared to more extensive treatments that may become necessary if left untreated.
What are the risks of ignoring or
postponing dental fillings?
Pain and Discomfort
Cavities can cause persistent toothaches, making everyday activities like eating, drinking, and even talking uncomfortable.
Sensitivity
Increased sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages can be a common symptom of untreated cavities.
Infections
If left untreated, cavities can progress to dental infections, which can be more painful and may require more extensive treatments like root canals.
Tooth Loss
Severe cavities can lead to tooth loss, which can affect your appearance and overall oral health.
Complicated Treatments
Delayed treatment often results in the need for more complex and costly dental procedures, such as crowns or extractions.
Systemic Health Impact
Poor oral health is linked to various systemic health issues, including cardiovascular problems and diabetes.
