Composite fillings
Composite fillings or white fillings, are the modern way of restoration of carious teeth, and are perhaps the most commonly used dental treatment, due to the high prevalence of caries. We at Maksident Vrshkovski – Dental & Implant Studio, use high quality nano ceramic composite fillings from world recognized and established dental companies like Ivoclar Vivadent, 3M ESPE,GC.
Composite veneers (laminates)
Veneers are very thin shells of ceramic or composite material applied to front of the teeth, and are a great way to fix or correct structural irregularities of the teeth, such as color, shape, position and give a beautiful, uniform smile.
For ceramic veneers the teeth need to be prepared, an impression needs to be taken, and they are produced in the dental laboratory, so they need a few days to be made.
Composite veneers are usually made in one day, in one appointment, usually there is no need of teeth preparations and drilling, no dental laboratory and cost less than ceramic. They can be applied like composite layers (bonding) or prefabricated veneers of composite material bonded to the tooth.
Advantages of composite veneers are:
• Little or no removal of tooth structure
• Treatment in one session (1-3 hours)
• Easy reparation if there is crack or chipping of some part of the veneers later (which sometime can happen)
