What is Tooth-Colored Restoration?

A tooth-colored restoration is a composite filling made of a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to treat damaged or decayed teeth. Composites are also commonly used to enhance cosmetic smiles by changing the color of teeth or reshaping misshapen teeth.
At Dental Que, Punjabi Bagh, West Delhi, we provide durable and natural-looking tooth-colored restorations that restore both function and aesthetics.

Reasons for composite fillings

Composite fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth, offering both cosmetic appeal and long-lasting durability. They are an excellent choice for addressing a variety of dental issues, including:

  • Chipped or fractured teeth
  • Closing gaps between teeth
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  • Decayed teeth
  • Worn-down teeth

At Dental Que, Punjabi Bagh, West Delhi, our expert team provides high-quality composite fillings that restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.

Advantages:

  • Can be precisely matched to the natural color of your teeth
  • Bonds directly to the tooth structure, strengthening it and restoring integrity
  • Requires removal of less healthy tooth material compared to other restorations
  • A cost-effective and conservative alternative to dental crowns
  • Suitable for restoring chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
  • Minor damage can be easily repaired by adding more composite
  • Reduces mercury exposure for both patient and dentist
  • Resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting results

Disadvantages:

Step-by-Step procedure of Composite Filling:

The process for getting a composite filling is simple and typically includes the following steps:

    1.  Numbing the Area: A local anesthetic is applied to numb the tooth and surrounding gums.
    2. Removing Decay: The dentist removes decayed portions using a drill or other dental tools, leaving a clean surface.
    3. Tooth Preparation: An etching gel is applied to create a rough surface, ensuring the composite resin bonds securely.
    4. Applying the Filling: The composite resin is carefully placed on the prepared tooth, shaped, and polished for a natural look.
    5. Curing the Filling: A special curing light hardens the resin, forming a durable and long-lasting bond.
    6. Checking and Adjusting: The dentist examines your bite and makes any necessary adjustments for proper alignment and comfort.
    7. Duration: Treatment usually takes 30-60 minutes per tooth, depending on the size and location of the filling.

At Dental Que, Punjabi Bagh, West Delhi, our experts provide precise tooth-colored restorations to ensure both function and aesthetics are fully restored.

Aftercare for Composite Fillings:

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your composite fillings last long and maintain optimal oral health.

  1. Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: For the first 24 hours, refrain from chewing tough or sticky foods on the treated tooth.
  2. Maintain Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to prevent plaque buildup and protect your fillings.
  3. Use Fluoride Products: Apply fluoride mouthwash or gel as recommended by your dentist to strengthen your teeth.
  4. Regular Check-Ups: Visit your dentist routinely for check-ups and professional cleaning to monitor the health of your fillings.

By following proper dental hygiene and aftercare instructions, you can ensure the longevity and success of your composite fillings.
