Then the treatment for this is filling…
In the era of modern dentistry, silver fillings are now replaced with white tooth-coloured fillings which are designed to match the colour of the tooth and not cause any health hazards. They are known as composite fillings that are not only aesthetic but with excellent bio-compatibility and strength.
These tooth-coloured filling materials are not only used in decayed teeth but have other implications too like smile makeover procedures, namely, composite veneers to close gaps between the teeth, fix crooked teeth, and so on.
Additional applications of composites:
- Fractured or chipped teeth correction
- Repair of fractured old fillings
- Closure of gaps between teeth
- Build-up of grossly destroyed tooth
Advantages of tooth-coloured fillings (composite fillings) over silver fillings:
- They are white in colour that also comes in multiple shades of white in order to mimic the exact shade of your adjacent natural tooth/teeth.
- Bond to the tooth structure giving more strength and durability.
- Conserves more natural tooth structure and poses no hazards to health.
- The patient compliance is extremely high by using these fillings.
