What is Tooth Coloured Restoration?
A tooth coloured restoration is restoring a tooth as close as possible to its original form and function, so the tooth not only looks good but it functions optimally again, and in harmony with the adjacent and opposing teeth. It restores and repairs a damaged tooth due to trauma or cavity and mimic the natural appearance of tooth structure. In addition, tooth coloured restorations also cosmetically and artistically alters the size, colour and shape of teeth.

> Bonding: Composite resins chemically bonds to tooth structure provides strong support to tooth and better finish.
> Versatility: Tooth coloured restoration can be used in variety of treatments like decayed, chipped, fractured, discoloured and worn-out teeth.
> Preparation: Tooth coloured restoration works on the principle of conservative dentistry. Minimal amount of tooth removed and with proper margins can be restored with restorative material.
> Non- hazardous: Tooth coloured restoration is biocompatible to individual’s health and environment, no side effects caused with proper implication and supervision..
Types of Restoration:-
Indirect Restoration- An indirect restoration is made outside the mouth, i.e. in a dental laboratory or by specialized equipment in the practice. Usually prepared with porcelain or ceramic materials, indirect restorations produce a better quality outcome for patients. While it takes longer to fabricate – an indirect tooth restoration is done over two visits.
Here are your indirect dental restoration options: Inlay, Onlay, Porcelain Veneer, Dental Crowns
Direct Restoration- A direct tooth restoration is done directly in the mouth during a single visit by the dentist. A direct restoration is usually made from – Amalgam(Mercury), composite resin or glass ionomer cement (GIC).
Why Choose Mercury-Free (Poison-Free) Tooth Coloured Restoration?
Drawbacks of Amalgam Fillings: Amalgam is an alloy of mercury with other metals. It was used to be the most popular restorative material in 90’s worldwide. Dental amalgam filling has been banned in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, there is much discussion about mercury use in Europe and United States as mercury has environmental and health related risk releasing hazardous toxins and causing mercury toxicity-
Acute effects: Ingestion, causes nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, renal damage. Inhalation; causes chemical pneumonitis, pulmonary oedema.
Chronic effects: Renal and CNS damage, neurological syndromes.
Amalgam has following disadvantages as well:
> Unnatural appearance (silver coloured)
> More prone to tarnish and corrosion
> Tooth restored with amalgam produces metallic taste and susceptible to galvanic shock.
> Discoloration of tooth structure, amalgam pigment leaches out of filling to dentinal tubules manifesting permanent discoloration of tooth structure and metallic filling cast a shadow and makes tooth appear dark.
> Weakens the tooth structure: amalgam restoration was popular due to its longevity and strength but it has complex tooth preparation, leading to more tooth removal and it weakens tooth structure.
“So composite resins are highly preferred and are highly aesthetic and durable”
