Tooth coloured fillings can be used to repair chipped, broken or worn teeth as well as areas of decay, and since they chemically bond to the tooth structure, can immediately strengthen the affected tooth. They can aid in tooth sensitivity caused by decay, and can also be useful for covering over stained or discoloured teeth.

 

White filling is carefully shade matched to appear natural, so it isn't noticeable when you smile. After the white filling is filled into the cavity and moulded into the tooth's shape, it is often hardened with a curing light. This forms a very hard substance and will withstand the forces in your mouth when you bite, over a long period of time.

 

White fillings are used as an alternative to amalgam (metal) fillings, which are aesthetically poor and may contain mercury, which could be toxic. Teeth need less preparation for a white filling than for amalgam silver fillings and results are natural, long lasting, and surprisingly affordable.

Composite Bonding

Cosmetic dental bonding (tooth bonding) is a simple technique that can transform your smile and restore your confidence using materials that match the natural shade and translucency of your natural teeth. Cosmetic dental bonding is often used to treat minor cosmetic and functional issues.

In most cases, cosmetic dental bonding is simple and easy and completed in a single visit. Tooth bonding refers to a direct technique where the cosmetic dentist applies an enamel-like material to the tooth and bonds it to the surface with a special light. The results are extremely natural looking.

About Composite Dental Bonding

Composite dental bonding is conservative method of treatment and is usually complete in less than an hour. Composite bonding does not remove any of the tooth’s natural structure as happens in porcelain veneers or dental crowns.

 

Tooth bonding is commonly used to treat:

 

Chipped or cracked teeth

 

Gaps between teeth

 

Misshapen or crooked teeth

 

Discolored tooth structure

 

Dental composites are not as durable or long lasting as porcelain restorations and may need to be retouched or replaced in the future. Also, dental composites are more susceptible to staining from foods and beverages, so special care should be taken to ensure long term success.
