Aesthetic Dental Fillings

In dental treatments, aesthetic appearance, as well as health, is important. Especially cavities, fractures, or color changes in the front teeth can negatively affect people's smile aesthetics. Aesthetic dental fillings offer natural-looking solutions.

What is an Aesthetic Dental Filling?

An aesthetic dental filling is the process of repairing decayed or fractured teeth with tooth-colored materials. Unlike classic amalgam fillings, aesthetic fillings match the natural color of the tooth and are aesthetically imperceptible from the outside.

How are Aesthetic Dental Fillings Done?

• Examination and Planning: The dentist evaluates the size of the cavity and the condition of the tooth. X-rays are taken if necessary.
