What is Composite Filling?
Composite filling application is preferred when there is wearing in the tooth due to various reasons. An effective treatment process can be achieved with composite fillings, which are usually applied to repair dental damage. The composite filling is in paste form before it is applied to the tooth. Then it is hardened with the help of special lights and takes the color of the teeth. Composite fillings, which give the same look as normal teeth in terms of aesthetic appearance, are therefore the most used type of filling when treating tooth damage.

Composite filling treatment is applied to patients who have various dental damage. Teeth may wear out over time due to certain reasons and may lose their healthy appearance. To understand whether the tooth needs a filling, the following details should be considered:
Teeth cracking
Tooth fracture
Severe toothache

How is Composite Filling Applied?
Composite filling is a type of treatment that is completed in a single session without the patient feeling any pain. The filling can be performed to eliminate the structural defects in the tooth or to fill the dental cavities. In such cases, the patient does not need to be anesthetized. However, in case of caries and fractures, the following steps should be taken into account when applying composite filling:
Local anesthesia is used to prevent the patient from feeling pain.
After the tooth is anesthetized, the decayed part of the tooth is cleaned by a dental specialist.
After the tooth cavity is cleaned, a composite filling is applied that seamlessly match the tooth structure.
In the final stage, the best closing form is given to the tooth by applying the necessary corrections.
How Long is the Life of Composite Filling?
The life of composite filling is generally around 10-15 years. After the filling is first placed, it is normal for the patient to experience sensitivity to hot or cold foods. A short time after the tooth gets used to the filling, the feeling of sensitivity disappears completely.
