COMPOSITE FILLINGS
RESTORATIONS THAT LAST
WHAT ARE COMPOSITE FILLINS?
Composite fillings are a popular dental treatment option used to restore teeth affected by decay or damage. Made from a mixture of dental resin and ceramic particles, these fillings offer a natural and aesthetically pleasing solution. Unlike traditional silver or amalgam fillings, composite fillings can be matched to the color of the patient's natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable. Not only do they provide a seamless appearance, but composite fillings also require less removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving the strength and integrity of the tooth. Additionally, composite fillings bond chemically to the tooth, minimizing the risk of leakage or further decay. With their durability, versatility, and cosmetic benefits, composite fillings have become a preferred choice for many individuals seeking effective dental restorations.
EXPLAINING RUBBERDAM
Rubber dam is a dental tool that plays a crucial role in modern dentistry. It is a thin, flexible sheet made of latex or non-latex material that is designed to isolate and protect the teeth during dental procedures.
The rubber dam is placed over the teeth, creating a barrier between the treatment area and the rest of the mouth. This not only keeps the patient comfortable by preventing any debris from entering their mouth, but it also provides a clear view for the dentist to work efficiently.
The rubber dam also helps in enhancing infection control by reducing the risk of contamination. Overall, the rubber dam is a valuable asset in dental practices, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
