Dental Fillings: Advanced Restorative Solutions

Our comprehensive range of dental fillings provides practitioners with high-quality, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solutions for restoring tooth integrity and function. Designed to meet diverse clinical needs and patient preferences, our filling materials ensure superior performance and lasting results.

Overview

Dental fillings are essential restorative materials used to repair teeth damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. They restore the tooth's shape, strength, and function, preventing further damage and relieving discomfort. Our selection includes the latest advancements in restorative dentistry, offering excellent biocompatibility, marginal integrity, and ease of use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Exceptional Durability & Longevity: Formulated with advanced materials for resistance against masticatory forces and daily wear, ensuring years of reliable service.
• Superior Biocompatibility: Materials are rigorously tested to be safe and compatible with oral tissues, minimizing post-operative sensitivity and allergic reactions.
• Precise Marginal Adaptation: Ensures a tight seal between the filling and the tooth structure, preventing microleakage and secondary caries.
• Wide Range of Material Options: Cater to various clinical situations, aesthetic demands, and budget considerations.
• Aesthetic Excellence: Tooth-colored options provide virtually invisible restorations, seamlessly blending with natural dentition.
• Ease of Application: Designed for optimal handling characteristics, facilitating efficient and precise placement for the dental professional.
• Radiopacity: All materials are radiopaque, allowing for clear visibility on radiographs for easy detection of recurrent decay or marginal discrepancies.

Material Options

We offer a diverse portfolio of dental filling materials, each with unique properties suited for specific indications:

1. Composite Resins (Tooth-Colored Fillings)

• Description: A blend of plastic (resin) and fine glass particles, cured with a special light to harden.
• Key Benefits:
  • High Aesthetics: Available in a wide range of shades to perfectly match the natural tooth color, making restorations virtually undetectable.
  • Bonding: Chemically bonds to the tooth structure, often requiring less removal of healthy tooth material.
  • Versatility: Suitable for anterior and posterior teeth, including small to moderate cavities, minor cosmetic repairs, and diastema closures.
  • Mercury-Free: An excellent alternative for patients concerned about mercury content in amalgam.
• Ideal For: Visible areas, patients prioritizing aesthetics, small to moderate Class I, II, III, IV, and V restorations.

2. Dental Amalgam (Silver Fillings)

• Description: An alloy composed of mercury, silver, tin, and copper. It has been a reliable restorative material for over 150 years.
• Key Benefits:
  • Exceptional Durability: Highly resistant to wear, making it ideal for posterior teeth that withstand heavy chewing forces.
  • Cost-Effective: Generally more economical than composite or ceramic options.
  • Time-Tested Reliability: Proven track record of long-term clinical success.
  • Ease of Placement: Can be placed relatively quickly, even in areas that are difficult to keep dry.
• Ideal For: Large posterior restorations, areas requiring high strength under occlusal load, cost-conscious patients.

3. Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs)

• Description: A hybrid material made from acrylic and fluoroaluminosilicate glass.
• Key Benefits:
  • Fluoride Release: Continuously releases fluoride, which helps prevent secondary caries by strengthening adjacent tooth structure.
  • Chemical Bond: Bonds chemically to enamel and dentin without the need for an adhesive system.
  • Biocompatible: Gentle on pulp and oral tissues.
  • Thermal Expansion: Coefficient of thermal expansion is similar to natural tooth structure, reducing stress.
• Ideal For: Primary teeth, temporary restorations, non-stress-bearing areas (Class V lesions, root surface caries), base/liner under other restorations, tunnel preparations.

4. Ceramic (Porcelain Inlays/Onlays)

• Description: Custom-fabricated, high-strength porcelain restorations, typically created in a dental lab and then bonded to the tooth.
• Key Benefits:
  • Superior Aesthetics: Mimics the translucency and luster of natural tooth enamel, offering the highest level of aesthetics.
  • High Strength: Extremely durable and resistant to staining and wear.
  • Biocompatibility: Highly inert and tissue-friendly.
  • Conservative: Inlays/onlays preserve more natural tooth structure than full crowns.
• Ideal For: Large restorations where traditional fillings might fail, patients seeking the utmost in aesthetics and durability, replacement of large amalgam fillings.

5. Gold (Cast Gold Inlays/Onlays)

• Description: Custom-fabricated restorations made from a gold alloy, known for their exceptional strength and longevity.
• Key Benefits:
  • Unparalleled Durability: Gold is extremely strong and resistant to fracture and wear, often lasting 20-30 years or more.
  • Biocompatibility: Very well tolerated by oral tissues, highly resistant to corrosion.
  • Precise Fit: Excellent marginal integrity due to the precision of casting.
  • Kind to Opposing Teeth: Has a similar wear rate to enamel, preventing excessive wear on opposing teeth.
• Ideal For: Patients prioritizing longevity and biocompatibility, specific occlusal considerations, where aesthetics are less of a concern.
