Aesthetic Dental Filling
Life Time Dental Treatments
Aesthetic dental filling offers a solution for problems such as separated teeth or discoloration of the teeth. Aesthetic filling is a very reliable and long-lasting filling.
Although many people think that filling is only done when there are situations such as caries formation, in fact, filling is also done for aesthetic purposes. Thanks to aesthetic dental filling, an aesthetic appearance is obtained on the teeth. Different materials and techniques are used for bonding application. For example, composite bonding is the most commonly used functional aesthetic dental filling application. Thanks to applications such as composite bonding, solutions can be offered to many problems such as interdental space or discoloration of the teeth.
How is Bonding Performed?
How to perform the filling application known as bonding may vary according to the reason for the filling. If there is no caries formation in the tooth where the aesthetic dental filling will be made, then local anesthesia may not be applied. Since local anesthesia is not applied, impression taking and cleaning procedures can be started directly. The needs and wishes of the patient are taken into consideration when taking impressions before bonding. The impression can be taken to complete the tip of a tooth with a broken tip or to fill in between the teeth. In addition, even if there is no decay in the tooth before bonding, cleaning is required. This cleaning ensures that the teeth are free of plaque. Plaque removal is very important for the aesthetic dental filling to adhere strongly to the teeth and not to cause any infection. After the cleaning process, adhesive materials are used as a bonding agent. Thanks to these materials, there is a complete adhesion between the tooth and the filling. Since the purpose of bonding filling application is usually for aesthetic reasons, the filling material is used in a thin layer and carefully.
In Which Situations Is Aesthetic Dental Filling Performed?
Tooth Fractures
In some cases, teeth can be broken due to trauma. Tooth fractures can lead to the loss of only a small part of the tooth. This can make the tooth look bad and cause functional loss. In such a case, if it is desired to use the tooth in a functional and aesthetic way without losing it, aesthetic filling can be performed. Aesthetic dental filling material offers an effective solution especially for small losses occurring at the ends of the teeth. A tooth that is broken only a small part can return to its pre-fracture state after aesthetic filling application. In short, aesthetic filling is one of the advantageous applications that can be preferred for tooth fracture repair.
Teeth Being Too Separated
Some people’s teeth are congenitally separated in some way. While the appearance of split teeth does not bother some people, it bothers some people very much. Of course, applications such as laminated porcelain can also be made to correct this appearance. However, aesthetic dental filling is a much more painless, fast and low-risk solution.
Therefore, it is possible to say that aesthetic filling is the most logical solution that can be preferred if the teeth are very separated. Thanks to aesthetic dental filling application, which is a popular application in the field of dental aesthetics, a non-separated aesthetic tooth appearance can be obtained.
Wanting to Gain an Aesthetic Appearance to Teeth
Some individuals complain about various conditions such as the size, color and separation of their teeth. In addition, even if there is no extreme situation in the tooth, the appearance of the tooth in question may not be pleasing to the person. In such a case, aesthetic filling application may come into play. Thanks to aesthetic dental filling application, a large, white and aesthetic tooth appearance can be obtained.
The best part of the aesthetic filling application is that there is no need to perform procedures such as cutting or abrasion on the tooth while giving an aesthetic appearance. These procedures are sometimes painful and can jeopardize the general health of the tooth. Therefore, many people want to have aesthetic teeth without abrasion and cutting. Bonding application can meet this request.
Curvature of the Tooth
Curved teeth can normally only be corrected with long-term use of braces. However, if the curvature of the tooth is very small or if the curved appearance of the tooth is due to reasons such as the destruction of the tooth surface, then aesthetic filling can be used to make the teeth look like they are aligned straight. Aesthetic dental filling helps to achieve a straight appearance on the teeth thanks to its effects such as tooth surface correction.
What is Composite Bonding Adhesive Material?
Composite resin is used as the adhesive material in composite bonding application. Composite resin, as the name suggests, is a resin mixture. Resin is a material used in many filling applications, including aesthetic filling, as it does not harm the tooth or the mouth and offers a strong adhesion. In order for the composite filling to be bonded correctly with the composite resin, which is the adhesive material of the composite filling, some important points must be considered. Therefore, these materials should be used carefully by dentists who are experts in their field.
What is the Difference Between Aesthetic Filling and Normal Filling?
There is actually no big difference between aesthetic filling and normal filling. Unlike normal filling, aesthetic dental filling can be used not only after caries treatment but also when there is no dental problem.
What Color is Aesthetic Filling?
Aesthetic filling is usually white. However, some patients may request the use of gold filling in aesthetic dental filling applications because they like the appearance of gold filling. Therefore, the patient’s wishes are taken into consideration when choosing aesthetic filling color and material. For example, if the patient’s teeth do not have a very white tone, it is recommended to make an aesthetic dental filling in the same tone as the general teeth. If the patient wishes, a filling that is compatible with the general teeth or a white filling material can be used.
Does Aesthetic Dental Filling Fall?
It is possible for the aesthetic filling to fall out. Aesthetic dental filling, just like classical filling types, can fall off as a result of some wrong behaviors or end of life.
Acting Too Hard While Cleaning Teeth
When it comes to dental cleaning, only methods such as mouthwash in a clinical setting come to mind, but in fact, activities that can be done at home, such as brushing or flossing, are also included in dental cleaning. Too harsh movements while cleaning teeth can cause all kinds of fillings, including aesthetic fillings, to fall out. Especially if the tooth is very separated, the aesthetic dental filling can fall out due to the effect of hard floss blows. Therefore, you should remember to be extra sensitive when cleaning your teeth, especially in the areas where there is a filling.
Chewing Very Hard Foods
Many people take care not to eat within a few hours after the dental filling application and not to chew very hard foods on the filling after the meal starts. This behavior is a very correct behavior and should actually be shown as long as the filling remains on the tooth.
Chewing very hard foods on the tooth with any filling, including aesthetic fillings, causes pressure. This pressure can cause the filling to fall out and even break into pieces. Therefore, in order to prevent the aesthetic dental filling from falling out, it is necessary to stay away from very hard foods or chew these foods on teeth without aesthetic filling.
Not Paying Attention to Dental Health
Not paying attention to dental health leads to temporary results of any dental treatment, including aesthetic fillings. In order to take care of dental health, it is necessary to be attentive to hygiene, not to interrupt treatments and even if there is no problem with the teeth, it is necessary to undergo a dental examination for control purposes. Especially with dental check-ups several times a year, any problems that may occur in the teeth and aesthetic dental filling can be detected and prevented in advance. In this way, if the filling is about to fall out, you can understand this in advance and enable your dentist to intervene in the situation.
Grinding and Squeezing Teeth
Grinding and clenching teeth are behaviors that sometimes have psychological and sometimes physiological causes. These behaviors cause tremendous pressure on the aesthetic filling. This pressure causes the aesthetic dental filling to fall out and in some cases to break into pieces. Therefore, you need to get rid of teeth grinding or clenching behavior so that the aesthetic filling does not fall out. You may need to consult dentists, neurologists or psychiatrists to get rid of this condition.

Can I Smoke After Aesthetic Dental Fillers?
You should not smoke after aesthetic dental filling. Smoking triggers the growth of bacteria in the mouth after any filling application, including aesthetic dental filling. This can lead to infection. Therefore, you should avoid smoking after aesthetic dental filling, especially in the first 24 hours. Otherwise, you may experience infection-related problems and lose your aesthetic filling. In addition, even if the 24-hour process is overcome, smoking damages general oral health and aesthetic filling.
What are the Aesthetic Dental Filling Prices?
Aesthetic filling prices are shaped depending on more than one factor. The first factor affecting the price of aesthetic filling application is the width of the area to be filled. As the area expands, the price of the application may increase as it is necessary to use more material and the procedure time increases. In addition, the experience of the dentist who will perform the application also affects the price of aesthetic filling application. Experienced dentists can perform higher priced applications and medical interventions than inexperienced dentists.
Is Aesthetic Filling Performed on Broken Front Tooth?
Aesthetic dental filling can be applied to the broken front tooth. Especially in small fractures, the application recommended to be applied directly will be aesthetic dental filling. Thanks to aesthetic dental filling, partial tooth loss in the fracture area can be filled with filling material. This helps the tooth to look intact and aesthetic as if it is not broken. However, in some cases, such as if the fracture is very large or if the tooth needs treatments such as root canal treatment, aesthetic dental filling may not be applied to the broken front tooth.
Can I Brush My Teeth After Aesthetic Dental Filling?
You should not brush your teeth immediately after any filling application, including aesthetic dental filling. Brushing the teeth immediately after the filling application causes the filling material that has not yet dried to warp and dislodge. This prevents the application from providing permanent solutions. It is necessary to wait at least 24 hours to brush teeth after aesthetic dental filling application. During this time, the filling material will dry and there will be no obstacle in brushing teeth.
