The process of a composite filling is to remove a tooth after is decay and the area is cleaned, this tooth colored material is layered into the tooth,Each layer is hardened or cured with a highly intense visible light, and the final surface is shaped and polished to match the tooth. The final restoration is virtually invisible.The composite fillings also known as tooth colored fillings can be more than just attractive. They are environmentally non-toxic because they use no mercury. They are stronger because they bond directly to the surface of the tooth. They protect the tooth from fracturing because they don't require the severe "undercut" (removal of healthy tooth structure) of a mercury filling. This can be a more conservative option.Silver fillings over time cause cracks and fractures to develop in teeth. Composite or "tooth colored fillings" allow us to only remove the decay and leave the tooth in a stronger, healthier situation. Composite fillings also seal the teeth by bonding the tooth and filling together whereas silver fillings leak over time due to the lack of a bond.Tooth colored fillings are the treatment of choice in our office because they keep the teeth stronger and the added benefit of looking better.An inlay covers only one or two surfaces of the tooth and is used to restore a small amount of decay. An onlay actually covers one or more cusps (the chewing surface of the tooth.) and offers greater protection for moderately fractured teethInlays and onlays are incredibly strong due to the fact that they are fabricated with a porcelain or metal material. This protects the tooth from fracturing and actually strengthens the tooth. In addition, inlays and onlays fit almost perfectly into the prepared surface of the tooth, reducing the size of the seam between the restoration and the tooth. This helps keep decay from eventually occurring under the restoration.Inlays and onlays require the removal of only decayed and fractured areas of the tooth, leaving more healthy tooth structure intact.Bonding is a procedure in which tooth colored materials are applied to the enamel. Bonding covers discolorations, repairs, chips, breaks and cracks and fills in gaps There is one cosmetic procedure that people rave about and that is porcelain veneers! Why?
