Porcelain Filings

Porcelain Filings
Porcelain fillings are a conservative treatment method used to eliminate tooth deficiencies. In patients with a large number of tooth losses, it is a good choice to turn to porcelain fillings. It is essential to protect healthy tooth tissue in the porcelain filling method. In the procedure, specially prepared porcelain fillings in the same color as the patient's dental tissue are used and a natural result is obtained. Porcelain fillings are one of the most preferred filling methods.

 

How Is It Done?

The porcelain filling is a very good treatment for patients with excessive tooth loss. For patients who have lost only one or two teeth, it may be a better option to apply one of the alternative treatment methods. The dentist examines the patient in the first session to decide this. If the patient is suitable for the procedure, the dentist starts the preparations for the procedure. First of all, it is checked whether there is a suitable space in the tooth, otherwise, cavities are prepared so that porcelain fillings can be placed and their measurements are taken. Filling materials made of porcelain are prepared in a way that is exactly compatible with the tooth color of each patient. In the second session, the prepared filling is applied and the process is completed.

 

Silver fillings used in the past were not aesthetically pleasing to the patients and could not be fully compatible with the teeth. On the contrary, the porcelain fillings used today are extremely successful in terms of both appearance and durability. Porcelain fillings are highly appreciated by patients because they cannot be distinguished from natural teeth. Since these fillings are hard like natural tooth enamel, they allow patients to continue their daily lives comfortably.
