During this process, fillings of composite resin are applied to the back and front of the teeth. Composites are actually special solutions that promote the restoration of decayed teeth so that cosmetic improvements can be made and teeth can be reshaped. People looking forward to options for lightening stains on teeth, closing gaps between teeth and fixing crooked teeth seek the help of this dental procedure. The application of a thin plastic coating on the front surface helps hide any flaws in the appearance of teeth. Once this is done, bonding materials are applied and sculpted, coloured and eventually shaped to produce a satisfactory result. The plastic is then hardened by a high-intensity light, with the surface eventually polished.
Even though traditional silver fillings tend to last about 6-7 years, the composites used in the bonding procedures can have a life of up to 11 years.
