In contemporary dental practices, composite fillings have largely superseded amalgam restorations due to their superior aesthetic qualities and robust strength. These fillings are securely bonded to the tooth, providing a seamless, natural appearance. While they bear a close resemblance to composite inlays in terms of their look, composite fillings are tailored for a balance of strength and beauty, though they are not quite as enduring as inlays. This modern solution offers a cosmetically pleasing and functionally effective alternative for dental restorations.
Procedure for Dental (composite) Fillings
The preparation of the tooth begins with a gentle etching process that roughens the surface for a stronger bond. Dr. Melad Ghalloub then applies a specialized bonding agent, which, upon setting, creates a firm foundation for the restoration. A pliable plastic resin is meticulously applied and artistically shaped to achieve the precise contour and function desired. After the resin has solidified, Dr. Ghalloub finely sculpts the material, concluding with a careful smoothing and high-polish finish, resulting in a restoration that beautifully emulates the look and feel of a natural tooth.
