The teeth often get affected by oral hygiene, accidents and diet. Many people have broken or decayed teeth and these issues affect the teeth' function. Damaged teeth can also affect the aesthetics of your smile, making you feel uncomfortable when smiling.
Broken parts of the teeth and cavities may also make your teeth feel uncomfortable. If you also have small food particles in your cavity, they may cause tooth decay.
However, you can get a dental filling to preserve your teeth and restore your eating function and dental health. Getting a dental filling is painless, and different filling materials are available, such as porcelain, composite gold and amalgam.
A dental filling is a cosmetic dental treatment that fixes broken or cracked teeth. This dental procedure is quite common in Turkey that prevents tooth decay. Before placing a dental filling, the dentist will clean the decayed area of the tooth.
A dental filling can save a tooth from signs of decay, and if the affected tooth is left untreated, tooth loss may occur, meaning dental filling is an effective preventive dental treatment.
Filling a tooth can prevent tooth cavity issues, and cavities often result from tooth decay. The cavities are usually a breeding spot for harmful bacteria. The bacteria can wreak havoc on our oral health, leading to increased tooth decay, including several other dental issues.
Our dentist at Smile Makeover Turkey can restore your cracked and broken teeth during a dental filling procedure. You can choose a filling material that matches your natural teeth' colour and shape.
Dental fillings are among the most common treatments for tooth decay or cavity, and you can choose your preferred dental filling.
Different dental filling materials are available for a dental filling procedure. These materials have their advantages and disadvantages.
Gold dental fillings were the most popular, but most patients no longer request them. Amalgam dental fillings are also popular and also called silver fillings. This dental filling is long-lasting but isn't natural-looking
Composite dental fillings have become a popular option for the front teeth because they have a similar colour to the natural teeth. Porcelain filling material is the newest. Porcelain dental fillings also have a natural look and are commonly used for the front teeth, like composite dental fillings.
The cost of dental filling varies depending on the number of teeth and the material. A dental filling procedure is simple and doesn't take a long time.

You will not feel pain during a dental filling procedure because the filling application doesn't affect the nerves.
Different dental fillings are available, but composite fillings are the most common. These fillings consist of quartz or glass and give a natural-looking result.
At the initial stages of a cavity, you may not experience symptoms, but the teeth will become black or discoloured over time.
Dental fillings can prevent a cavity from getting worse.
During a dental filling application, the dentist will apply a special gel to your gums and then inject topical anaesthesia into your gums. The next step is removing the decaying tooth part with specialised equipment and filling the hole with the dental filling material.
You can contact your dentist for a replacement if your filling gets cracked or damaged. A cracked or damaged filling can increase the risk of bacteria entering the mouth.
Dental fillings have an average lifespan of 7 – 20 years but depend on the filling's location and your level of oral hygiene.
After your dental filling procedure, you may experience sensitivity to air and hot and cold food within the first three weeks. You may feel pressure on the dental filling when you eat, but this side effect is temporary.
After getting a dental filling, avoid sticky, chewy and hard foods for the first two weeks. Ensure you maintain good oral hygiene, including brushing at least two times daily.
We recommend avoiding smoking a few hours after getting a dental filling. However, smoking can harm your dental health.
