What are aesthetic composite resin restorations?

Aesthetic composite resin restorations are a versatile dental treatment option used to restore the structure of damaged teeth and make minor cosmetic improvements to the smile.

Aesthetic composite resin restorations, often called ‘tooth-coloured fillings’, are a modern dental solution for repairing teeth affected by issues like decay, chips, fractures, or loss of structure due to wear or erosion. These restorations can also be used for cosmetic enhancements, such as composite build-ups or veneers.

Unlike porcelain, composite resin offers a conservative approach to addressing mild cosmetic concerns and improving smiles without irreversible alterations to the natural tooth structure.

Aesthetic composite restorations help with addressing issues such as:

  • Restoring cavities and decay
  • Minor spacing or gaps between teeth
  • Aesthetic imperfections
  • Reshaping teeth
  • Irregularities and color discrepancies

Composite resin is a versatile material that can be shaped, layered, and moulded to achieve natural tooth contours, making it suitable for repairing or enhancing all areas of the mouth.

What to expect from
your first consult?

At your first visit, your dentist will assess your situation. Our team might have to take images such as x-rays and a 3D OPG scan to further assess your teeth. Sometimes your dentist will be able to perform the treatment instantly. In other cases, he will give you a customised treatment plan for you to take home.

What is involved in the treatment process?

If one or multiple teeth show decay you may require composite fillings (white filling). Your dentist will clean the site of debris, plaque and superficial stains. Then, our team will determine the ideal shade to match your existing teeth. Afterwards, your dentist will remove the calculus or old restoration.

In the next step, your dentist will bond the composite material to the remaining healthy tissue of your tooth. They will then shape and polish the composite restoration to ensure it looks natural and feels comfortable for you.

Composite restorations act like your natural teeth. This means they can also fracture, chip, and break like your normal teeth. This type of restoration can last for a prolonged period of time depending on a variety of factors such as your diet and your oral health habits. All foods and drinks that can stain your natural teeth can also stain your restorations.

However, you can expand the longevity of your composite resin restorations by following a good oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing twice daily and flossing or using interdental brushes at least once a day.

In addition, it is important that you attend your regular dental check-ups. These will help to keep your restorations in good shape. Your dentist may also be able to re-polish your composite veneers to expand their lifespan.
