INTRODUCTION
, ONE VISIT FILLINGS
(a)Tooth
coloured aesthetic fillings
Cosmetic
Dentists have many shades of filling materials to match your teeth
perfectly. These fillings are bonded to the tooth using a special
bonding resin. Ultra Violet light is
used to set the filling hard instantly so you can eat immediately. Careful attention is paid to shaping and polishing
the restoration to produce an ideal and smooth finish. These Cosmetic fillings are now shown to be
strong and reliable.
(b) Amalgam
Amalgam
fillings are metal. The main disadvantages are the grey/black appearance of the
fillings and the fact that they do not bond to tooth structure. Some
people are also concerned about the small amount of mercury in the amalgam
alloy.
DENTAL CROWNS
A tooth
with a very large filling requires a cap or dental crown to protect the
tooth from fracturing in the future.
This avoids repeat dentistry and is the cost-effective option for the
long term.
