What is Aesthetic Tooth Filling?

The most important complement of beauty is teeth. A perfect smile is indispensable for beauty. This perfect smile is something that everyone wants to have. This demand paved the way for developments in the dental industry. New methods and materials have been found thanks to the research and development studies carried out in order to find a cure for the conditions of those who want to look more beautiful and pleasant. The most interest in this area has been aesthetic filling. Nobody wants to have an artificial tooth structure. The use of aesthetic dental fillings that will best provide the natural appearance has increased. Aesthetic fillings are used in both anterior and posterior teeth.

Aesthetic filling is applied in the color of the teeth. This application is also called composite filling. Amalgam fillings were previously used for the treatment of dental caries. However, due to its color, it did not create an aesthetically pleasing image. Porcelain filling and composite filling, which produce better results aesthetically, have started to be preferred more today. Composite filling is also called beam filling. While filling, the material is hardened by radiation. Therefore, it is also called by this name. These fillings are extremely durable.

Situations where aesthetic filling can be used;

    For the treatment of broken and decayed teeth,
    To eliminate discoloration of the teeth, to create a more uniform structure,
    To close the gaps between the teeth due to the tooth structure,
    To lengthen the teeth by eliminating the length differences in the teeth,
    Shape changes are also made in the teeth.

How to make aesthetic filling;
The most applied method in anterior teeth is called bonding. Extremely successful results are obtained with this system. It can be applied to all teeth. However, it is preferred because successful results occur when applied for anterior teeth. With the bonding system, a perfect aesthetic appearance emerges in a few hours. While performing the procedures in these systems, it is important to choose the material that is suitable for the natural tooth tissue first. The material most suitable for the tooth color is selected and the process is carried out in this way. If this point is omitted, it will produce an unpleasant image. In order not to encounter such situations in teeth, which are an important factor of beauty, service should be obtained from reliable dental clinics and dentists with strong references.

In posterior teeth, the bonding system is replaced by porcelain fillings, which are aesthetic fillings. Since the treatments were limited in the past, prosthesis applications were made in ancient times. However, thanks to the latest technology and changing materials, a more aesthetic appearance is obtained. Prostheses have left their place to porcelain fillings. One of the problems experienced in porcelain filling is breakage. It is generally preferred in posterior teeth due to the presence of fracture situations. The posterior teeth are the teeth that exert the most effort. It is exposed to abrasions especially during the eating and drinking process. Therefore, the risk of wear increases the preferability of porcelain. During the porcelain application, the decayed tissues should be cleaned and prepared in accordance with the tooth dimensions and applied in this way.When tooth decay is not cleaned, pain will occur. This will negatively affect a person's quality of life.

The service life of the aesthetic filling;
There is no harm in dental health with aesthetic fillings. It offers many years of use. Its care is the same as with natural teeth. Tooth brushing and flossing should be done, even if it is in fillings or in natural teeth. If it is not done, you will reduce the service life of the teeth. As long as it is carefully maintained, it does not cause any problems for 5-10 years. Polish is applied on the aesthetic fillings. Thanks to this polish, the surfaces are smoother and prevent staining. For this reason, aesthetically pleasing results emerge. Developing technology has provided important services to people in the dental aesthetics sector, as in many areas.
