White fillings

A filling replaces
part of a tooth that has been lost because of decay or trauma. Unlike silver
(amalgam) fillings, composites actually bond to the teeth, so they are
especially suited to repairing teeth (especially front teeth) that have been
chipped, broken or decayed. They can also be used in back teeth if there is not
too much decay or damage. The procedure is simple and is usually completed in
one visit. However, depending on the location, composites may chip. Composites,
glass ionomers, and resins are just different types of white fillings.
Procedure
-
Normally, your dentist will give you an
anesthetic to numb the area
-
Any existing decay will be removed
-
Any existing fillings (if present) will be
removed
-
The tooth will be washed and dried
-
Next, the tooth to be treated will be primed
so that it’s ready to chemically bond with the resin
-
The filling material will then be placed
into or onto the tooth and contoured
-
The filling will undergo a chemical process
of hardening through light activation.
-
Your dentist will trim and polish the final
restoration
Benefits
White fillings come in a range of shades so they
can be matched to the colour of your existing teeth.
White fillings are sticky so they can be used to
reshape and rebuild broken edges or worn teeth. They can also be used to cover
stains or discoloration if they cannot be removed by cleaning.
Because white fillings bind to the tooth, less
structure needs to be removed when placing a white filling than when placing a
silver one.
