Tooth Colored Restorations

What do we mean by Tooth Colored Restoration?
Tooth Colored Restoration, most commonly referred to as White Fillings or Composites, is a metal-free dental restorative material which is safe, predictable and natural-looking. Dentists use this material to restore functionality and integrity to the missing tooth structure that in turn improvises your overall dental health including bite, strength and appearance of your smile.
Why is Tooth Colored Restoration is more preferable?
Tooth Colored Restoration is more preferable over the metal fillings because of its numerous benefits including the following:
  • Tooth Colored Restoration does not harmfully affect the overall health of the patients. They are made of ceramic composites and do not contain harmful metals like mercury, as was used in the past.
  • Tooth colored fillings are similar to the color of your natural teeth that make them virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
  • Amalgam fillings assume dark colors or get pigmented but the tooth colored fillings keep your teeth free from stark dark spots and make your smile pristine and confident.
  • Tooth colored fillings get bonded to your tooth and prevent further fractures.
  • These fillings are made from strong bonding materials that can be shaped according to the requirements of the tooth.
  • These composites can be used for back and front teeth alike, without compromising aesthetics.
  • Tooth Colored fillings unlike metal fillings, do not wrap due to temperature fluctuations.
  • Minimal amount of damaged tooth is removed for the placing tooth colored fillings that further strengthens tooth and minimizes the chances of future breakage.
  • The resin used in tooth colored fillings contains fluoride that checks the tooth decay.
  •  These fillings minimize the sensitivity to hot and cold temperature and as well strengthen the structurally weakened teeth.
  • The Tooth Colored fillings are ideal for filling new cavities, replacing conventional amalgam fillings, repairing chipped teeth and to remove the gap between the teeth.
