The Role of Fillings in Preventing Decay and Restoring Teeth
Harmful bacteria lurking on the tooth surface can pave the way for decay, compromising your oral health. Dr. Lares specializes in removing decay and filling the affected area to halt its progression. Beyond addressing decay, fillings serve as versatile solutions for repairing cracked, broken, or excessively worn teeth. Utilizing tooth-colored composite resin, these fillings not only restore the tooth's structural integrity but also blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, shielding it from further infection and decay. WithDr. Lares's expertise, you can safeguard your smile against decay while preserving its beauty and functionality for years to come.
A Closer Look at This Dental Material
Composite resin, a blend of plastic and glass materials, serves various purposes in dentistry. It is commonly used to fill cavities, alter tooth color, reshape teeth, and even minimize gaps between teeth. While it may not have the longevity of silver fillings in large cavities, composite resin is exceptionally durable for smaller cavity fillings.
One of the standout features of composite resin is its ability to closely match the natural color of your teeth. This makes it a preferred choice for cosmetic reasons, allowing patients to smile confidently without worrying about visible fillings. With composite resin, your dental restorations seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, enhancing both appearance and function.
The Importance and Process of Composite Resin Dental Fillings
Dental implants are known to last for decades, and hence, prove to be cost-effective in the long run. The Advantages Of Dental Implants Include:
The tooth is isolated from saliva to keep it dry.
An air abrasion is used to remove the infected part of the tooth.
The composite resin is placed in layers over the opening.
A special light is used to harden each layer of composite resin material.
After the tooth is filled, the composite resin is shaped to resemble a real tooth.
Achieve a Natural Smile Makeover with Composite Fillings
For those dealing with severely discolored teeth, composite fillings offer a transformative solution. These fillings restore color balance to your smile, seamlessly blending in with your natural teeth. With composite fillings, you can enjoy a more natural-looking smile without drawing attention to dental work. The process involves applying the composite material to the tooth's surface, followed by shaping and polishing to achieve the desired appearance. Layer by layer, the filling is hardened using a special tool, ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
