Do you feel that sudden toothache when you try an ice cream? Well, your tooth may have decay resulting in pain. But that’s nothing that a resin filling at Goldfields Family Dental Clinic cannot take care of!
They are more commonly known as composite fillings, which act as a solution for restoring your tooth instead of extracting it. A combination of ceramic particles or silica and acrylic resin is mixed up, offering a tooth-colored coating to cover the decay. Resin fillings aren’t the only type of tooth fillings available, but unlike amalgam, porcelain, or tooth fillings, resin ones are ideal for matching the natural texture and color of your tooth.
Resin fillings are commonly used to fix your chipped tooth, modify the shape of your tooth, or simply fill the cavities that are a result of tooth decay!
The procedure is no big deal and can be done in one visit to our dental clinic.
Although resin fillings look more ideal apparently, they don’t last as long as amalgam fillings. However, on average, they last for 5-7 years if you maintain oral hygiene properly. Besides, the daily amount of pressure and stress on them, the location of the resin filling, and your oral habits have a big role in the longevity of your tooth fillings. Make sure to pay regular visits to the dentist to check the condition of your filling.
