Filling treatment is the process of restoring losses in the tooth structure with restorative materials. At Eskişehir Dentsilya Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, filling applications are performed to preserve the functional integrity of the tooth and stop the progression of decay. This intervention ensures that the tooth is reconstructed in a way that is closest to its natural form.
Filling procedures applied in the early stages eliminate the risk of tooth loss and prevent more costly and complex treatments. New generation materials used in modern dentistry offer high standards in terms of both durability and aesthetics. In our clinic, each case is meticulously evaluated according to the location of the tooth and the amount of damage.
In Which Cases is a Dental Filling Performed?
The most common condition requiring a dental filling is dental cavities formed as a result of bacterial activities. When the hard structure of the tooth enamel is compromised, the resulting gaps lead to sensitivity and pain. Intervention at this stage prevents the infection from reaching the dental nerves, thereby preserving the vitality of the tooth.
In addition to cavities, the filling method is also utilized in the treatment of fractures and cracks resulting from mechanical trauma. Furthermore, structural defects, gaps between teeth, or worn surfaces are restored using this method. In our dental filling applications in Eskişehir, both the aesthetic and chewing functions of the tooth are fully restored.
What are the Types of Fillings?
Thanks to today's advancing material science, there are various types of fillings that cater to different needs. The choice of material is determined by our specialist physicians in line with the tooth's position in the mouth, its exposure rate to chewing pressure, and the aesthetic expectations of the patient.
The filling materials preferred and frequently applied in our modern clinical environment are classified as follows:
- Restorative Material Options: Composite fillings that provide full harmony with the tooth color, inlay and onlay restorations offering high durability with porcelain content, glass ionomer materials used in anterior teeth where aesthetic expectations are high, and biocompatible new generation ceramic-based fillings.
Among these materials, composite resins are the most preferred option today as they chemically bond to the tooth structure. Porcelain fillings, on the other hand, exhibit excellent compatibility in larger substance losses since they are prepared in a laboratory environment. Dentsilya Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic offers the most up-to-date solutions that promise long-lasting and healthy results for every patient.
How is a Dental Filling Performed?
The treatment process begins with numbing the relevant area with local anesthesia to prevent the sensation of pain. Then, the decayed tissue or damaged parts on the tooth are completely cleaned with precise devices. The cleaned cavity is shaped into a suitable form for the filling material to adhere.
The filling material placed in the prepared area is hardened with the help of special light sources. In the final stage, the height of the filling is checked to adjust the biting balance of the tooth, and the polishing process is carried out. With this process completed at Eskişehir Dentsilya Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, the tooth regains its natural appearance and full function within seconds.
