COMPOSITE DENTAL FILLING

Without getting too technical, composite fillings are a tooth coloured resin material. There are two main components mixed together, a resin and a filler.

Think of it like making porridge. The oats are the filler and milk is the resin. The more milk you add the runnier the porridge becomes.

Composite is a filling substance used in dentistry that the dentist places in the tooth after removing tooth decay or due to another defect. A composite filling is also the cheapest alternative to an amalgam filling. In contrast to amalgam, the material is considered to be biocompatible and of high aesthetic quality.

Does Composite Dental Filling Cause Pain?

There is no pain during the composite filling. However, after the filling is done, a sensitivity to cold and heat occurs in the teeth. Due to this sensitivity, pain may occur during chewing while eating. However, this is valid for the first time, the pain completely disappears after the teeth get used to it.

Is Composite Filling Long-lasting?

It may vary depending on the sensitivity of the procedure, the patient's dental structure, hygiene and nutritional habits, and the quality of the material used. Naturally, its persistence in the mouth for 10-15 years or more can be long-lasting.

What Should Be Considered After Composite Filling?

After the fillings placed on the teeth, a sensitivity to hot and cold occurs in the teeth. Although this is a completely natural condition, your tooth will get used to the composite filling over time. Of course, after a while, your teeth will get used to the new fillings and your tooth sensitivity will disappear over time.

How Much Is the Composite Filling Price?

It depends on how many teeth will be filled, infected teeth or gums, condition and position of the tooth to be filled, dentist, etc. In short, prices may vary depending on the process to be applied.
