Dental Fillings

What is a Dental Filling & when do you need it

Dental fillings are single or combinations of porcelain or tooth coloured plastic and materials like composite resin fillings used to repair or restore teeth. In the case of a cavity or to repair cracked or broken teeth, a dental filling is used. Dental Filling can also be used to fill in the space between two teeth or reshaping or aligning teeth.

Materials used for Dental Filling

The Smile Spa provides several options for dental filling materials such as porcelain or tooth coloured plastic and materials like composite resin fillings.

The Smile Spa technologies for Dental Filling

When decay is restricted to superficial layer of teeth, a Light Cure Composite Restoration can be used to restore the tooth to its normal function. It usually involves less or minimal drilling of the tooth structure.

Restorative Dentistry is indicated for

  • Restoring cavity in the tooth
  • Smile designing cases
  • Diastema closure (gaps between your teeth)
  • Fractured teeth
  • Hypoplastic/ stained teeth.
  • Fluorosis

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

  • Treats tooth decay at a primary level restricting further damage to the tooth
  • Minimally invasive, bonds to the tooth
  • Appears natural as it is tooth coloured.
  • No post treatment eating restrictions.
