Dental Restorations / Fillings
Dental fillings are the process of restoring the use and function of a tooth by using restorative material to missing tooth structure.
Dental fillings are performed for many reasons, most commonly for tooth structure lost due to cavities or external trauma.
There is a two step process involved in a dental restoration. The first is the preparation of the tooth for the placement of restorative material, and the second is the placement of these restorative material/s.
The preparation of the tooth is the process that most commonly makes nervous patients hesitant and apprehensive.

COMPOSITE RESIN
In dentistry, composite resin refers to a tooth-colored filling material made of a mixture of plastic and glass or quartz. It is used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, trauma, or other factors.
Composite resin is a popular choice for fillings because it can be color-matched to the natural shade of a patient’s teeth, making the filling blend in seamlessly. It also bonds well to tooth structure, providing a strong and durable restoration.
To place a composite resin filling, the dentist will first remove any decay or damaged tooth structure. The composite resin is then placed in layers and cured with a special light to harden it. The filling is shaped and polished to blend in with the surrounding teeth.
Composite resin can also be used for cosmetic purposes, such as to reshape or repair chipped or cracked teeth, or to cover stains or discolorations. It is a versatile and popular material in modern dentistry.
Regular dental visits are important because they help spot oral health problems early-on when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable. They also help prevent many oral problems from developing in the first place.
Visiting your dentist regularly is also important because some diseases or medical conditions have symptoms that can appear in the mouth.
Even if you don’t have any symptoms that may appear obvious to you, you should still see your dentist regularly for check-ups as you may have severe problems that only a dentist can diagnose. Regular visits to the dentist can also help prevent any issues from developing. Keeping your mouth healthy is essential to your overall health.
