In the realm of modern dentistry, the quest for the perfect smile often involves not only impeccable oral hygiene but also the artistry of restorative procedures. Enter tooth-coloured fillings and composite restorations, a cutting-edge approach that transcends traditional dentistry, offering a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Revolutionizing Dental Aesthetics

Gone are the days when a dental filling meant unsightly metal protrusions. Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, have emerged as a beacon of progress in the dental world. Crafted from a mixture of resin and fine glass particles, these fillings not only match the natural colour of your teeth but also provide structural integrity.

Aesthetic Harmony with Composite Restorations

Composite restorations, a sibling to tooth-coloured fillings, take the concept a step further. These restorations involve the meticulous layering of composite materials onto damaged or decayed teeth, recreating the natural appearance while reinforcing strength. The result? A flawless smile that doesn't compromise on durability.

The Advantages Beyond Aesthetics

Preserving Natural Structure

One of the most significant advantages of opting for tooth-coloured fillings and composite restorations is the preservation of natural tooth structure. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings that often require more extensive removal of healthy tooth material, Composite Restorations bond directly to the tooth, minimizing the need for aggressive reshaping.

Reducing Sensitivity

Metallic fillings, notorious for conducting temperature changes, can lead to heightened sensitivity. In contrast, tooth-coloured fillings, being non-conductive, reduce the risk of temperature-related discomfort. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals who have experienced sensitivity to conventional fillings.

Enhanced Durability

Composite materials have evolved to offer impressive durability. The modern formulations not only withstand the rigours of daily chewing and biting but also prove to be as robust as their traditional counterparts. This ensures that your dental work remains intact for an extended period.

What is Tooth Bonding?

Teeth bonding, or dental composite bonding, is a cosmetic dental procedure used to improve the appearance of teeth and restore a beautiful smile. A composite resin, which is a hard plastic material, is applied to the tooth and hardened with a curing ultraviolet light. The material used is tooth-coloured, and it’s the same material used in composite dental fillings. It blends with your other teeth to produce a natural-looking, aesthetic appearance.

Some ways tooth bonding can improve your smile are:

Repair decayed teeth
Repair chipped or cracked teeth
Change the shape of teeth
Make teeth look longer
Close gaps between teeth
Recolour stained teeth

Our tooth-bonding dentists can help you develop an effective treatment plan that will help you regain and maintain your smile. For composite bonding, New Delhi and Gurgaon residents trust the artistry and skill of our cosmetic dentists at The Dental Roots. Teeth bonding is a fast and effective way to address minor imperfections.

A Painless Cosmetic Solution for a Smile You’ll Love

Reasons to Choose Composite Filling

The cosmetic dentists at The Dental Roots, New Delhi and Gurgaon have chosen to offer only porcelain fillings because of their many benefits:

Same colour as your teeth
Look like a natural part of your teeth
Durable bond with the tooth enamel
Mercury-free
Preserves more natural tooth structure than metal fillings
Not as vulnerable to leaking and breaking as metal fillings

Metal fillings are made of an amalgam of metal and they contain low levels of mercury, a substance that is known to be toxic when ingested or inhaled. Many of our patients do not want any mercury materials in their mouths. Porcelain fillings are made of a composite resin that does not contain any mercury. They also have a natural, lifelike appearance that does not stand out when you smile, laugh, or speak.

The Dental Bonding Process

The first stage of the dental bonding procedure is to select a shade of composite material that best matches the colour of the tooth to be bonded and those on either side of it.
Having chosen the colour and prepared the tooth, we will apply the putty-like material and mould and smooth it into shape. Next, the soft bonding material is hardened using a painless laser.
Once the tooth bonding materials have hardened, we will then make final cosmetic adjustments to it and polish it so that it neatly matches the look and texture of your teeth.
A tooth can normally be bonded in a single 30–60-minute visit to our dental clinic in Panchsheel Park Delhi, Sushant Lok Gurgaon, and Tata Primanti Sohna. The bonding of multiple teeth will take longer and may be best spread over multiple visits.
The lifespan of dental bonding is typically 5-10 years, after which touch-ups or a replacement may be needed. We can handle the entire process of tooth bonding in Panchsheel Park Delhi, Sushant Lok Gurgaon, or Tata Primanti Sohna.

Who is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding?

deal candidates for tooth bonding are those that are happy with the overall colour and appearance of their teeth, but simply need a tooth repaired that’s discoloured, damaged, or oddly shaped.

Minor Damage and Misshapen Teeth

Tooth bonding is ideal for those who have generally healthy teeth but have incurred slight damage, like a chipped front tooth, or a visible tooth that has a shape or length that’s unesthetic. That’s why dental bonding of front teeth with minor damage is extremely common. A major break in a tooth, however, often needs to be treated with a crown or by replacing the tooth completely with a dental implant.

Localized Tooth Discoloration

While tooth bonding can address discoloration in a single tooth, those with widespread discoloration should consider getting their teeth professionally whitened before bonding a tooth since the bonding material cannot be whitened once applied.

Patients that are NOT ideal for dental bonding include those with:

Major damage to teeth
Severe tooth decay
Extremely discoloured teeth
Grinding or clenching habits

The only way to know for sure if you’re a good candidate for tooth bonding is to get a professional evaluation and diagnosis.

Biomimetic Dentistry: Mimicking Nature

Biomimetic dentistry restores teeth in a manner that copies what is lifelike. Your natural teeth have evolved to have the properties that serve you the best, including flexibility and strength. With biomimetic techniques, our dentists strive to mimic these natural properties every time they treat or restore a tooth. Your tooth restoration should result in a return to the natural function, appearance, and strength of the tooth.

Some of the Most Basic Elements of Biomimetic Dentistry are:

Tooth preservation
Dental conservation
Restoration of weak, damaged teeth
Maintaining tooth strength while sealing out infection
Treatments designed to last a long time

Our patients find these biomimetic techniques to be more comfortable, and in the long run, they find themselves in need of serious dental work much less often.

In conclusion, the era of compromising aesthetics for functionality in dental procedures is a relic of the past. Tooth-colored fillings and composite restorations have redefined the landscape, offering patients the best of both worlds – a naturally beautiful smile coupled with robust structural support.

Questions To Ask Your Doctor

How long do tooth-colored fillings last?

Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, typically last between 5 to 10 years. The lifespan depends on various factors, including the size and location of the filling, oral hygiene practices, and daily habits. Regular dental check-ups can help monitor the condition of the fillings and address any issues promptly, contributing to their longevity. It's essential to follow good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, to ensure the extended durability of tooth-colored fillings.

Which filling is best for teeth?
