Aesthetic Fillings

Sometimes, very positive results can be achieved in terms of aesthetics with minimal applications in the mouth. Fillings that allow for small changes and are compatible with dental tissues and applied in a natural appearance are called aesthetic fillings. These fillings are often preferred because they cannot be distinguished from natural teeth due to their high light transmittance and color harmony.

What is Aesthetic Filling?

Aesthetic filling restorations are fillings that provide an aesthetic smile design and are applied with filling materials called composites that are very similar and compatible with natural tooth tissues. These fillings are preferred to meet aesthetic expectations as well as to eliminate tissue losses.

When Should Aesthetic Fillers Be Applied?

Material losses due to fractures and cracks in teeth or decay can be successfully treated with aesthetic fillings. They can be preferred for aesthetically eliminating abrasions that have occurred on teeth due to many different reasons and for correcting color differences of teeth. Aesthetic fillings can be safely applied in correcting minimal tooth irregularities without causing abrasion, closing the gaps between teeth without damaging the natural tooth tissue and extending the length of teeth.

What are the advantages of aesthetic fillers?

Since aesthetic fillings can be applied in a short time, they are advantageous in terms of easily obtaining aesthetic results. Usually, a single session is sufficient to make these fillings. Making fillings without making any changes to the natural tissues of the teeth prevents tissue loss. As a result of the correct application of the contact points and transitions between the teeth, it also provides better care and cleaning of the gums and teeth and prevents food jams. In addition to the high color variety and harmony of the filling materials used, thanks to their good light transmittance, positive results in terms of aesthetics are obtained healthily. It is more advantageous than restorations made of other materials in terms of treatment cost.

How Can Aesthetic Fillers Be Applied?

The teeth to be treated are determined as a result of the decisions taken during the clinical examination. If necessary, arrangements can be made in the surrounding tissues before the procedure and local anesthesia can be applied. The operation area is isolated with the help of special materials and the doctor’s field of vision is perfected, providing a better aesthetic tissue harmony. Fillings are applied by planning the edge and color harmony and the procedure is finished with polishing. If necessary, additions or different changes can be made to the fillings in the following sessions. Maintenance of the restorations can be done regularly with control sessions.
