Fillings

We believe that all dentistry is cosmetic
Tooth decay is one of the most common dental disease and a challenge for the practitioner. We at drpdc restore the tooth in terms of function and the aesthetics at the same time.

White fillings are also referred to as composites, because they are composed of a complex composite of plastic and zirconia/silica.

Composites were introduced long back in the 1960's and since then they have caused a revolution in terms of durability, color stability, material handling qualities and esthetics when compared with conventional silver amalgam fillings. Tooth colored fillings are bonded to the tooth compared to silver fillings, which are not.

Composites comes in varying shades to match the tooth shade of an individual for achieving proper aesthetics. A different type of material is used for anterior and posterior teeth. The materials used for front teeth are designed to achieve better aesthetics where as the materials for back teeth are intended for strength required to chew the food. It's pleasant to have a filling that is virtually undetectable and look alike of a natural tooth .

Tooth colored fillings have a great strength and more long lasting than silver fillings. A small filling could possibly last your lifetime and larger fillings are likely to last many years.
