Aesthetic Tooth Filling

What is Aesthetic Tooth Filling?

Aesthetic tooth filling is a dental procedure that is used to repair damage to teeth caused by various reasons such as decay, fracture or discoloration. These aesthetic fillings are made using natural tooth-colored materials. Filling is performed with materials detected according to the patient’s tooth color. With this application, the teeth are given a natural and aesthetic appearance.

How is Aesthetic Tooth Filling Performed?

Before starting the procedure, the area to be filled is anesthetized with local anesthesia. The decayed, broken or damaged teeth are cleaned. Following teeth cleaning, cavities are created on the teeth. The filling material selected according to the patient’s tooth color is placed in these cavities in layers and hardened using halogen light. The dentist finally polishes and makes the filling compatible with the tooth.

Aesthetic tooth fillings, which can be applied quickly because they are compatible with tooth color and texture, are preferred because they not only eliminate functional defects but also provide an aesthetically beautiful appearance.
