TOOTH FILLINGS in
Burbank, CA
Getting a filling positioned is one of the most popular and important treatments in the dental field. Fillings are essential to secure your tooth with a durable material after eliminating the portion of decay. Amalgam fillings (a mixture of metals, including mercury) have been commonly used in the past since amalgam was considered a durable material that performed pretty well for filling large cavities.
ADVANTAGES OF Composite FILLINGS:
Composite Fillings have both aesthetic and functional roles, usually at the same time. For example, a cavity attacking the front portion of a tooth along the gum line may be noticeable when you smile. The tooth gets restored and appears better than ever by minutely cleaning out the soft, discolored part and then replacing it with a tooth-colored filling.
Composites Fillings consist of a mixture of liquid resin enclosed with refined ground glass particles. After being shaped to the prepared tooth structure, blue light is applied directly to the composite to harden the filling material within a couple of seconds. When it’s shaped and polished to give a high shine, the restoration process is done.
ADVANTAGES OF TOOTH-COLORED RESTORATIONS
There are many advantages of tooth-colored restorations. Resin Onlays are bonded to the teeth forming a rigid and great fit to the natural tooth. These restorations are used in conditions where too much of the tooth structure has been missing. The tooth remains intact and stronger.
As the resin used in tooth-colored restorations has fluoride, it can help avoid decay. The resin wears just like original teeth and does not need placement at the gum line, which is very healthy for your gums too!
REPLACING SILVER FILLINGS WITH A TOOTH COLORED RESTORATION
You can get your silver fillings replaced with tooth-colored restorations also called onlays. This procedure needs only two visits to your dentist.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT:
- Your old filling will get removed by the dentist along with any extra decay.
- A teeth impression is taken. A model of your teeth is being created and sent to the laboratory.
- A temporary onlay is then inserted on the tooth.
YOUR SECOND APPOINTMENT:
- Your temporary onlay will be removed by the dentist.
- A conditioning gel will be applied to the tooth to prep it for receiving the new onlay.
- Bonding material is applied to the tooth and with the use of a high-intensity light, it attaches the resin to the tooth.
- The tooth will then be polished.
