Today’s dental technology makes
crowns, veneers, and tooth colored fillings that are very natural looking
compared to early counterparts. There was a time when dentists placed silver
fillings exclusively. This material is still used, however the most common
material used today in fillings is composite, tooth-colored fillings. Composite
fillings can be made to match any shade of tooth and even let light travel
through them like natural enamel. Dr.
Alina Bergan can replace any silver fillings you may have gotten with
composite material to improve your smile.
Composite fillings are perfect
in many different scenarios. The most obvious reason is when a cavity is
present. This is an excellent way to seemingly erase the imperfection that once
was. It is almost as if the cavity was never there.
Placing composite fillings to
reshape teeth can also minimize excessive spacing. In the case of a diastema,
(a large space between the two front teeth) composite material is a
non-invasive and cost-effective choice that provides instant results. It can be
an alternative to braces.
Mottled enamel is a symptom of
fluorosis, which causes discoloration and imperfections in the enamel.
Composites are the material of choice for masking this condition.
Composite fillings are easy to
place, easy on the eyes, and easily repaired. With skill and good composite
material, a filling can be easily disguised. This look is desired most in our
society today, where dental perfection is now standard.
Your smile is well
cared for with composite fillings. There are some great materials that give a
near perfect match to the appearance of natural tooth enamel. Smile with confidence
knowing no one will ever know you had dental work done. Your secret is safe
with us at Alina Bergan DDS!
