Dental filling is a dental treatment applied to teeth that have decayed, broken or cracked for various reasons. It aims to restore the functions lost in decaying or broken teeth.

After the decayed area of the teeth in question is thoroughly cleaned, the resulting cavity is restored by filling it with different materials. Timely dental filling prevents the complete loss of teeth. Aesthetic tooth filling is the name given to the process of filling the filling with a filling material in the original tooth color. In this way, it is possible to have teeth with a more natural and aesthetic appearance. A brighter appearance is obtained with aesthetic filling treatment applied in order to have an aesthetic appearance of the teeth. Today, aesthetic dental filling can be applied for all teeth. There are different types of aesthetic dental filling. Porcelain filling and composite filling are among them.

How is Aesthetic Tooth Filling Applied?

The area to be filled is visualized via X-ray. After the exact area to be filled is determined, the area around and inside the tooth is thoroughly cleaned. The material with which the filling will be made is prepared and the designated area is filled with this material. It is allowed to freeze quickly with a special device. After the filling process is completed, a few trials are made and if there are parts that disturb the patient, the tooth is brought to its final and ideal state through small touch-up applications such as thinning, cutting or lowering .

Tooth Filling Application Types

In aesthetic tooth filling treatment, the existing decays in the tooth are cleaned. Bonding is applied to create a bond between the filling made of composite material and the tooth. The hardening process is carried out by irradiation. In porcelain fillings, after the impression taking process, the filling preparation process is carried out in the laboratory environment. In this way, the problem of incompatibility in the filling is prevented. The bonding process of the porcelain filling is done with a special system.
