Dental Filling
The most common procedure dentists perform is dental fillings. We use the best materials available in dentistry at D32 The Dental Centre. In the past, gold, amalgam (mercury filling) and other metal materials were used to make tooth fillings.
Modern dentistry enables us to use porcelain or composite material that closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth to improve the structural integrity of the aesthetic looks.
The decay is replaced with new fillings or replacement of existing fillings and the tooth is prepared for correct inspection. The composite material is then bonded with resin adhesives to the underlying structure of the tooth. Then it is shaped and formed to imitate your natural tooth in order to ensure a normal bite.
Common Dental-filling Options
Tooth-colored Fillings – They provide good durability and fracture resistance in fillings of small to medium size that have to withstand moderate chewing pressure. They can either be used on the front or back of the teeth.
Silver-colored Fillings – They are made of a mixture of metals including mercury, silver, tin, and copper. This filling type has been in use for over 100 years and is very durable but has the disadvantage of showing silver color. Not ideal for smiling front teeth or teeth.
Gold-colored Fillings – These are made up of gold, copper and another metal alloy. Although gold has been used for more than 1,000 years in dentistry, its drawback is that it is very costly.
The D32 Dental Centre specialists are highly qualified and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of decayed and dental fillings. Upon comprehensive medical evaluation supported by X-ray exams, the patient will be addressed with various options and appropriate treatment will be given.
To make the operation practically pain-free, we use multiple sedation methods such as nitrous oxide inhalation gas anesthesia, oral anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia. The team includes qualified anesthesiologists and clinicians to provide the best care standard.
