Cosmetic dental filling is a procedure in which the dentist will use tooth-colored composite resin material to attach to the chipped, cracked or discolored area of \u200b\u200bthe tooth<\/span>.<\/h1>\n

The composite resin material is activated by a special light to firmly bond to the tooth (in need of treatment) to restore or improve your smile.<\/p>\n

This procedure is often used to close gaps in the front teeth because it is quick, convenient and more economical than porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n

After the procedure, your teeth will feel different. Therefore, it may take some time for you to get used to this new feeling.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush<\/li>\n
  • Avoid frequent mouthwashes containing alcohol<\/li>\n
  • Avoid drinking coffee, tea or smoking to avoid staining.<\/li>\n
  • Avoid biting your nails<\/li>\n
  • Avoid eating hard foods<\/li>\n
  • Visit your dentist every 6 months for a thorough cleaning<\/li>\n
