Composite Fillings
Unfortunately, the enamel on our teeth doesn’t regenerate so once the hole from a cavity has formed as the result of bacteria damaging the tooth, the only thing to do is to fill it.
What are composite fillings?
Composite fillings are made from a mixture of powdered resin (acrylic) and plastic glass and can be custom coloured to match the original tooth making the filling as undetectable as possible thus making them a very popular solution for fillings.
Advantages Of Composite Fillings Vs Amalgam Fillings
For many years amalgam- ‘Silver’ fillings were regarded as the most popular medium due to their long term durability. Though in recent years the introduction of composite materials have allowed clients to obtain longevity and aesthetics in their dental fillings as the composite material is coloured to match the existing teeth. The composite material does not expand and contract with hot and cold temperatures in the same way that amalgam filings do. The expansion of silver filings can lead to cracks and fractures causing further decay.
Teeth Scaling
Teeth scaling is done by removing hardened plaque and tartar below and above the gumline. Our dentist cleans all the way to the bottom of the pocket, finishing the process off with root planing and smoothing out the teeth roots to ensure the gums are reattached to the teeth.
- To make this process more interesting and quick, hire the expertise from Sea Breeze Dentistry.
