White Fillings Melbourne
About White Fillings
White fillings for your teeth could be made of various materials. The most commonly used materials are Ceramic, Glass Ionomer and Composite resin fillings.
Ceramic fillings also known as ceramic inlays or onlays are usually made over 2 visits. As the tooth needs to be cleaned, made sure no more decay is present, prepared and digitally scanned to be sent to the lab to make the ceramic fillings. Next visit usually in 10 days time we remove temporary filling and cement or bond the filling in. The ceramic option is much harder and durable compared to composite resin. Ceramic fillings are also known to have more natural appearance and they are also known for colour permanence, in other words they done stain or fade over time.
Glass ionomer cements are usually used only in special circumstances where composite or ceramic fillings may not be possible. Or if their cavity preventive nature is desirable like in a kid with many cavities. They are also a go to material, if the tooth or cavity is very hard to isolate and keep dry due to various situations.
Composite resin fillings are the most commonly used materials, can be done in 1 appointment. The cavity on the tooth will be cleaned prepared and composite resin placed in layers and cured or hardened by using a special light. This option is more affordable compared to ceramics. But also composite fillings are no as durable like composite.
All these white fillings may or may need anaesthesia for a pain free pleasant experience. Happy gas/nitrous oxide sedation may also be advised by our dentist based on special needs and circumstances.
