What is a Tooth Filling?

Commonly termed as ‘fillings’, tooth fillings serve the primary purpose of rectifying dental cavities and rejuvenating decayed teeth. Factors including dietary habits, oral hygiene, and even genetics can lead to the necessity for fillings. In addressing cavities, our goal is to restore both the tooth’s function and its aesthetic charm. Our fillings are robust, trustworthy, and blend flawlessly with your natural tooth, ensuring invisibility.

As cavities pose a challenge to both your dental health and appearance, Vita Smile Dental Centre Antalya stands ready as your dedicated ally, vowing that every restored tooth mirrors the natural ones.

When do you need a tooth filling?

Tooth fillings become necessary when there’s a defect in the hard tissue of a tooth. While minor defects may not always require treatment, larger holes should be addressed with a filling to prevent the onset of a toothache.

You might require a filling therapy if you experience the following:

• The presence of a classic hole, known as a carious defect.
• A part of the tooth has broken off.
• The enamel has been eroded due to acid attacks.
• Defects caused by heavy friction or teeth grinding.
• Cervical defects and grinding facets.
• Signs That You May Need a Filling

Here are some signs to watch out for that indicate the need for a filling:

• You can visually spot a hole, or you can feel it with your tongue.
• Your tooth is sensitive to temperature changes or the consumption of sour or sweet foods.
• Your tooth is sensitive to touch.

Exploring Different Types Of Tooth Fillings

There are several types of dental fillings, each made from a variety of materials. The choice of material will depend on several factors, such as the extent of the repair, the location of the tooth, any allergies to certain materials, and cost. Let’s take a closer look at the various types of tooth fillings available:

1. Amalgam Fillings: This type is a trusty blend of metals, including silver, copper, and mercury. Known for their toughness, amalgam fillings are a great candidate for those hard-working back teeth that bear the brunt of your chew. They’re also one of the most budget-friendly choices.
2. Composite Fillings: Often known as filled resins or composites, these fillings are a blend of glass or quartz filler. They come in a range of colours to match your natural tooth, offering a seamless finish. While they may not boast the same durability as others, they more than make up for it with their chameleon-like ability to blend in.
3. Ceramic Fillings: Crafted from porcelain, ceramic fillings are the style icons of the dental world. Their resistance to staining and abrasion rivals that of composite fillings, and their strength is commendable. Plus, they can be matched to your tooth colour for a natural look.
4. Gold Fillings: Gold fillings are often viewed as the gold-standard (pun intended!) in durability. These fillings are custom made in a laboratory and then carefully set into place. They might require a few extra visits and have a higher price tag, but many find the golden gleam more appealing than the silver shine of amalgam.
5. Glass Ionomer Fillings: These fillings are a blend of acrylic and a special type of glass material. They are often the go-to for fillings below the gum line and for our younger patients. Their unique feature is the release of fluoride, providing an extra line of defence against decay.

At Vita Smile Dental Centre Antalya, our caring dentists will help you choose the ideal filling material for your unique dental situation, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care. We believe in prevention first – the healthiest teeth are ones that require the least intervention. So, make sure you’re keeping up with regular check-ups and maintaining a good oral hygiene routine. Your smile is our joy!

Tooth Filling Procedure

Embarking on the journey to healthier teeth is an important decision, and we’re here to guide you through every step at Vita Smile. Let’s delve into the journey of getting a tooth filling with us:

Pre-Procedure Examination And Diagnosis

Before a filling procedure, your dentist at Vita Smile Dental Centre Antalya will carry out a thorough examination of your oral health. This examination typically includes:

• Review your dental and medical history.
• Conduct a meticulous examination of your teeth.
• Use state-of-the-art X-ray imaging for a detailed view, if required.
• Armed with this insight, if any signs of tooth decay are detected, our dentist will suggest a filling to restore your tooth to its optimal health.

Step-by-Step Tooth Filling Process in Turkey

Step 1: Ensuring Your Comfort

Our dentist will apply a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, making sure you’re at ease throughout the process.

Step 2: Decay Removal

Using modern dental instruments, our dentist will gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth.

Step 3: Cavity Preparation

After eliminating the decay, the cavity is thoroughly cleaned of bacteria and debris. If the decay was near the root, our dentist will use a protective liner or base for extra care.

Step 4: Placing the Filling Material

The cleaned cavity is then filled with the chosen material, tailored to suit your specific needs.

Step 5: Polishing and Finishing

The final step involves our dentist refining and polishing the filling to match the shape of your tooth and ensure a comfortable bite.

At Vita Smile Dental Centre Antalya, our patient’s comfort and well-being are our top priorities. We ensure every procedure is performed with the utmost care and professionalism, making your journey to better oral health a smooth and comfortable experience. Your radiant smile is our greatest success!
