What is aesthetic dental filling
The aesthetic filling restores tooth aesthetics by using filling materials. The filling is usually applied to the front surface of the tooth. During this procedure, it is possible to change the color, shape, and position of the tooth. Before filling, the teeth are slightly polished or tooth enamel is roughened, depending on the damage and position of the tooth. After some polishing, crooked and protruding teeth get visually straightened.
When aesthetic filling procedures are recommended?
This treatment method is used to change the color, shape of the teeth, remove pigmentation spots or slightly change their position. The aesthetic filling can only be performed if there is still a sufficient amount of tooth tissue. If your tooth is broken or severely damaged, you may need a dental brown.

How to prepare for aesthetic dental filling?
Professional oral hygiene procedures are required before aesthetic filling. If the patient plans to whiten their teeth, it should be done before aesthetic filling. Dental fillings will not change their color after whitening procedures and will make the difference between your teeth and fillings much more visible.
What should be avoided after aesthetic filling
After this procedure, foods, drinks, and other coloring products should be. Do not use whitening toothpaste, because it is very abrasive will cause damage to your fillings.
