Composite Fillings - White Fillings

WHAT IS COMPOSITE FILLING (WHITE TOOTH FILLING)?

WHAT IS COMPOSITE FILLING (WHITE TOOTH FILLING)?

Also called white filling, it is the most widely used filling material in today's dentistry, which is used in both posterior and anterior group teeth, which is aesthetic as well as robust.

Composite filling is a preferred filling method for repairing the tooth structure that has deteriorated due to decay, cracks, fractures or similar conditions in the teeth. During the procedures, the decayed or damaged part of the tooth is removed and then cleaned. In addition, special inserts are applied to the teeth and then composite fillings are placed on the teeth. In addition, it is also defined as aesthetic filling because it produces aesthetically effective results on the teeth. Composite fillings are also known as resin fillings. It is produced using various chemical components, as well as ceramics. With these fillings, chewing and biting in the mouth are further strengthened.

DENTAL FILLING PRICE

Composite filling prices will vary according to the number of tooth surfaces that need filling. We recommend that you consider this situation when conducting a composite filling price research, and research the methods and filling materials used for fillings. You can call us or fill out the information form to learn about our composite filling prices.

Dental filling prices may vary periodically. Each dentist can set their own filling prices. This situation can usually vary depending on the location of the clinic, the comfort of the treatment and the degree of specialization of the dentist. Citydent Istanbul offers you the highest quality service while at the same time providing the most affordable service.

Composite fillings are aesthetic because they have the same color as natural teeth.

Composite fillings are durable and resistant.

Unlike metal fillings, composite fillings do not contain toxic materials such as mercury.

Due to its ability to adhere to the tooth surface, there is no need to remove the healthy tooth tissue, unlike dental metal fillings.

Their hardening is provided by a special source of light during treatment.

The rate of success is quite low in cases where cavities are deep below the gums and therefore cannot be isolated from saliva and blood.

They are prone to contraction to a very little extent while hardening under light.

Their application requires more precision and takes more time compared to metal fillings.

Composite fillings can be applied for all sorts of cavity, abrasion and fracture problems that occur in front and back teeth.

First, the decayed tissue is removed under local anaesthesia.

Bonding agents are applied on the tooth surface and left to harden under a special source of light.

The best filling material concerning the color of the tooth is selected and hardened in small portions under light.

It is shaped to match the natural teeth appearance as much as possible and the excess material is removed.

Finally, the teeth are polished.

Matrix systems: Using a correct matrix is of great importance in order to avoid accumulation of food residues between teeth and to provide comfort in cleaning. We use 6 different brands and systems according to the cases we treat in our clinic.

Bonding agents: To help the fillings bond well to the tooth surface, we prefer bonding materials that contain antiseptic agents to prevent sensitivity after the filling procedure.

Filling materials:  We prefer highly polishable and aesthetic composite materials with different color options for the front teeth and highly durable composite materials with the lowest contraction ratios for the back teeth.

Curing Light devices: Contraction is one of the disadvantages of composites. Therefore, in order to minimize contraction, it is necessary to use led devices that slowly and gradually increase the light level.

Polishing systems: We offer fillings that can preserve their brightness and color for long years by using various disc, plastics and chemical agent brands.
