What is Tooth-Coloured Filling?

Bring on the aesthetically beautiful tooth-coloured fillings and bid adieu to metal ones as mercury-free practice is what we do at Aakaar Dentistry!

Dental restorations, known as tooth-coloured fillings, represent a cutting-edge advancement over traditional metal fillings. Since they complement the teeth and appear more natural than amalgam fillings, which are darker and more obviously detectable, they are intended to be discreet and natural-looking.

Due to their ability to chemically adhere to teeth, they are also known as composite fillings. They can be used to help repair chipped or damaged teeth, as well as to fill and seal cavities left by dental decay.

Benefits Of Getting Tooth-Coloured Filling

The composite resin that is used to create tooth-coloured fillings is incredibly biocompatible, allowing it to bond to your natural tooth structure quite effectively. Because of this, tooth-coloured fillings are able to offer the following benefits.

01
Enhanced natural appearance
To create a natural appearance, composite resin can be carefully tinted to match your enamel.
02
Conservative treatment approach
Tooth-coloured fillings adhere directly to the tooth, conserving more of the original structure, in contrast to metal fillings, which require more enamel removal to fit.
03
Reduced sensitivity
In contrast to metal fillings, which may cause discomfort because insufficient insulation of the dental nerves results in sensitivity to hot or cold meals, the tight link between the resin and tooth avoids sensitivity.

FAQs

Are tooth-coloured fillings as durable as metal fillings?

Fillings that match the colour of teeth are incredibly strong and resistant to typical biting pressure. Compared to conventional metal fillings, they can endure for many years with the right upkeep.

How much time does it usually take to have tooth-coloured fillings?

The size and location of the cavity determine how long the tooth-coloured filling process takes. In most cases, it may be finished in one visit that lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.

Are tooth-coloured fillings suitable for both front and back teeth?

Yes, tooth-coloured fillings are adaptable and provide a practical and aesthetically acceptable treatment for a variety of cavities on both front and back teeth.

Do tooth-coloured fillings require any special care or maintenance?

There is no special upkeep needed for fillings that are tooth-coloured. But for them to last a long time, you must continue to practise proper oral hygiene, which includes frequent brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.

Do fillings that are coloured to match teeth carry any risks or adverse effects?

There are currently no recognised hazards associated with tooth-coloured fillings.

Can I get tooth-coloured fillings in place of my current metal ones?

To achieve a more natural and visually pleasing appearance, it is possible to replace existing metal fillings with tooth-coloured fillings. The dentist will, however, assess whether it is appropriate in your particular case.

What is the price difference between metal fillings and tooth-coloured fillings?

Due to the materials used, tooth-coloured fillings may be slightly more expensive than typical metal fillings. Despite the lower cost, it is not justified to go ahead with a cheaper option, particularly considering the potential risk of mercury associated with metal fillings, especially when ample research demonstrates the biocompatibility of composite resins.
