Composite filling: (White Fillings)
Cost One Surface Filling = $60 + $20 per additional surface
Composite fillings are tooth-colored. They are used when filling and repairing a visible tooth that has been damaged by fracture, cracks, decay and so forth. A composite filling will be used to fill the cavity once the affected and decayed part of the tooth has been removed.
There are a lot of kinds of substances for fillings that are available, each one with its good and bad points. You can speak to your dentist about the best choices to help your teeth. The most widely used fillings today are silver amalgam and composite. When filling a front tooth or other visible tooth, it is best to use composite fillings. These can be matched to the color of the natural teeth.
Composite fillings, like most dental restorations, will not last forever. They must eventually be replaced. Composite fillings last a long time and help you to have a beautiful smile for many years.
Reasons for composite fillings:
- Chipped teeth.
- Closing space between two teeth.
- Cracked or broken teeth.
- Decayed teeth.
- Worn teeth.
How are composite fillings placed?
A composite filling can usually be put in place during one appointment. When your tooth is numb, the dentist will take out the decay as needed. Before your new filling is placed, this space will be cleaned and prepared very carefully. If the rotten part was close to the tooth's nerve, a special medicine will be put on it to protect it.
Your tooth will be restored to original function and shape with the use of a carefully placed, shaped and polished composite filling. When your composite fillings are initially put in place, you may experience hot and cold sensitivity. Once your tooth gets used to the new filling, this sensation will go away.
At the end of your treatment, you will receive instructions for care. You can keep your new fillings in good shape by visiting your dentist on a regular basis, having good eating habits, and practicing good oral hygiene.
