Advances in modern dental materials and techniques increasingly offer new ways to recreate natural looking smiles. The continuing research that is taking place to find better, longer-lasting and more natural looking materials in dentistry has resulted in dentists and patients today having several choices when it comes to selecting materials to repair worn, damaged or decayed teeth or replace missing teeth.

Materials used for filling teeth must have certain characteristics – the most important points to mention are strength and durability. They must be able to withstand chewing forces and obviously some teeth have to withstand more pressure than others. Therefore, the material selected for restoration will also be dependent on the position of the tooth that needs restoring.

At Coates Dental, our materials of choice for restoring teeth are composite resin and ceramic.

Composite resins are a mixture of acrylic resin, silica and finely ground glass-like particles that provide excellent durability and resistance to fracture and will withstand most levels of chewing pressure.

Ceramic restorations are recommended for areas within your mouth that need to withstand greater chewing forces such as in back molar teeth or to repair cavities that are considered extensive.

We will explain our recommendations to you and you will be invited to ask questions about our approach to fillings and how they apply to your personal needs.
