COMPOSITE
FILLINGS TURKEY
Composite fillings have many advantages compared to metal fillings. The colour of composite fillings can be chosen to match the natural tooth colour of the patient.
Composite fillings bond better to the tooth structure and are much stronger than those made of Amalgam, they also transmit the light better, making them aesthetically pleasing.
It is important to know that it is our policy NOT TO USE the metal-based Amalgam fillings in our clinic here in Turkey. With the advantages mentioned above, we only use composite fillings when treating our patients.
What is a White Filling?
Macroscopically, two or more materials, which may include quartz, silicon dioxide and zirconia, are mixed and bonded to a resin before being applied to the tooth.
Initially this filling material was only used for front (anterior) tooth fractures, but with later technological advances, the newer materials produced could withstand the heavy chewing subjected to the rear molars.
