Tooth color restoration ============================

Tooth color restoration is one of the dental procedures that are performed to restore the beauty and function of teeth. Dental fillings are used to treat tooth cavities, chipped teeth, partial tooth cavities, and tooth surface destruction. Previously, teeth were filled with metal amalgam, which showed remarkable strength and durability. However, people today often want their teeth to look natural. For this purpose, materials such as composite or porcelain are needed, which are more like natural teeth and look more beautiful.

** Types of tooth color restoration**

Composite materials are widely used to fill white teeth and repair tooth decay. These materials look like natural teeth. Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is also used to fill white teeth.

### **Comparison of composite and amalgam fillings**

Composite fillings create more white teeth and give much more attractive and natural results than amalgam. The beauty of the teeth makes the patient more confident.

White restorations cannot be used for all teeth and all types of cavities, especially in situations where the shaved tooth is significant. White restorations are mainly used to treat front teeth and chipped teeth. It should be noted that there are certain composite materials that can be used to repair large cavities. Composite filling requires less preparation than amalgam, and as a result, the structure of healthy teeth changes less during filling with composite. Composite materials are less durable than amalgam, but they can be used for all teeth.

Some patients are allergic to metal. Composite tooth filling gives a better appearance and is non-allergenic. No studies have yet proven mercury toxicity in amalgam procedures. It should be noted that up to 90% of the harmful substances of amalgam are removed by brushing the teeth after filling. Dental composite fillings require additional equipment and tools compared to amalgam and mainly depend on the skill of the dentist. This feature makes the composite filler more expensive than amalgam.

**Tooth color restoration cost**

The cost of tooth color restoration varies depending on the position of the tooth, the number of sessions, the speed of extraction and tooth cleaning. Most insurance companies avoid covering the additional costs associated with composite materials. November 4, 1401 Articles
