TOOTH FILLINGS
Composite fillings or tooth fillings done at Om dental Clinic & Implant Centre blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible.
The material is slightly flexible resulting in reduced drilling, and preserving more of your natural tooth.
The resin material in composite fillings creates a strong bond to your tooth.
How long do they last?
Composite fillings normally last for 5 + years , however it largely depends on your biting forces, position of filling, remaining tooth structure etc…
What are other tooth filling options ?
Amalgam /silver fillings : previously used more commonly but rarely used these days as it contains toxic mercury, does not bond to the tooth thus causing microgaps between tooth and filling leading to secondary cavities & needs more tooth trimming compared to composites.
May needed to be used in special cases where composite bonding is not possible.
What is the procedure ?
The procedure is very simple 15-30 min procedure where we remove the tooth decay, bond the composite resin in that part and cure it instantly with blue light.
As it is light set, you can eat or drink immediately.
Approximate cost varies from 800-2000 per filling depending upon individual tooth factors…
