Types Of Dental Fillings:-
We at shivaay dental clinic provide a gold standard in terms of dental filling like :-
- GIC
- Composite Resin
Composite filling
They are created from resin and plastic material. Many people choose composite fillings because they can be customized to resemble the colour of the patient’s teeth. Composites are best suited for use in visible parts of teeth or front teeth.
It bonds micro-mechanically to the tooth structure, giving the tooth more support. The tooth is spared during preparation as less tooth structure is removed.
Ceramic fillings
They are made out of porcelain material, making them cosmetically appealing and durable. Ceramic fillings can resist abrasion and stains better compared to composite resin. This material can last for more than 15 years.
Glass ionomer fillings
This filling is created from a mix of acrylic and glass. It is a good option for fillings beneath the gum line and for children with developing teeth. Glass ionomer fillings release fluoride giving the tooth additional protection from decay.
we here do not use amalgam fillings which has mercury as it is proven carcinogenic and has multiple side effects in longer run.
