Aesthetic Dental Fillings Antalya, Turkey (Metal-Free White Fillings)
A dental cavity (decay) is the most common dental problem worldwide. The solution is a dental filling—a procedure to remove the decay and \"fill\" the space to restore the tooth's original shape, strength, and function.
At our clinic in Antalya, we have moved beyond old, grey amalgam (metal) fillings. We exclusively use modern, tooth-coloured composite resin for a result that is not only strong but also virtually invisible.
What Are White Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-coloured, biocompatible resin material. They are the aesthetic and modern choice for treating cavities. Unlike silver amalgam fillings, they bond directly to the tooth, which provides extra support and requires less of your healthy tooth structure to be removed.
The Benefits of White Composite Fillings
- Aesthetically Superior: The resin can be perfectly colour-matched to your natural teeth, making the filling completely unnoticeable.
- Metal-Free & Mercury-Free: They are a biocompatible and safe choice for patients concerned about the mercury in old amalgam fillings.
- Conservative Preparation: Composite bonds to the tooth, so our dentists only need to remove the decayed portion, preserving more of your natural, healthy tooth.
- Durable: Modern composite materials are strong, durable, and can last for many years with proper care.
Replacing Old Metal Fillings
Do you have old, dark, or failing silver fillings? Many of our patients in Antalya choose to have their old amalgam fillings safely removed and replaced with new, aesthetic white composite fillings. This single, simple procedure can instantly improve the look of your smile and eliminate the dark, \"metal-mouth\" appearance.
