In people who do not pay attention to oral hygiene, an irreversible destruction occurs on the tooth surface as a result of the accumulation of bacteria in the mouth over time. Dental decays occurs as result of deterioration of the tooth structure. Composite filling treatment is applied to protect the existing tooth structure by early diagnosis of the tooth decay.
The decays that occur at the contact points, which are generally neighbor to the teeth, not only damage the existing teeth, but can also damage them if other teeth are neglected and the correct oral care is not done.
Dental filling is tried to replace the lost tooth tissues with composite fillings by cleaning the existing decay. So what is composite filling?
Composite filling is a tooth-colored resin material. The resin is applied by determining the color that is suitable for the color of your tooth and adhering it to the existing teeth with decay removed.
Sometimes you may come across a term known as bonding. Bonding is a treatment method that can be an alternative to laminate veneers in people who are not aesthetically satisfied with the shape of their teeth.
While laminate veneers are made of porcelain, bonding treatment is performed with composite fillings containing resin. Deformities, gaps between teeth (diastema) and caries on the front surface can be treated with bonding. The bonding process can usually be completed in one session.
