How is Aesthetic Filling Done?
Fillings are made in the presence of tooth decay. Firstly, the decay is cleaned. Then, a special adhesive is applied on the remaining tooth tissue so that it can adhere to the filling.
After this adhesive is hardened with a special light, the aesthetic filling is applied to the area and hardened with light. At the last stage, the height of the filling is adjusted, corrected and polished.
Are Aesthetic Fillers Durable?
Aesthetic fillings developed in recent years have become even more durable than the old black (amalgam) fillings. If applied with the correct technique, they are resistant to fractures even in the presence of very high chewing forces.

Are There Types of Aesthetic Filling?
Aesthetic fillings are divided into 2 groups within themselves:
- For back teeth
- For front teeth
Aesthetic fillings used in the back teeth are mostly developed to be resistant to high chewing force. The aesthetic fillings developed for the anterior teeth stand out with a wide range of colours in order to be suitable for the colour of the teeth to be applied, and their polishability and brightness are very high in order to obtain a natural appearance.
How to Achieve a Natural Smile?
Especially with aesthetic fillings applied to the anterior region, a natural smile can be obtained without it being obvious that the procedure is applied. For this, the right technique and the right colour of filling suitable for the tooth should be applied. After the aesthetic filling is applied to the tooth, both a bright and natural appearance can be obtained with a correct polishing process.
In Which Situations Is Aesthetic Filling Procedure Necessary?
- In the treatment of dental caries
- In the treatment of split tooth (diastema)
- To lengthen the tooth length
- For bonding application
- Discoloured teeth
- Aesthetic filling is required in congenital tooth enamel disorders such as amelogenesis imperfecta.
Why are Aesthetic Filling Applications Preferred?
Aesthetic fillings are preferred both to replace the decayed tissue in the presence of caries and for teeth with various aesthetic problems in the front teeth.
Aesthetic fillings, which have high strength against high chewing forces, can also be used in the anterior region by preserving the naturalness of your smile.
