Advanced Fillings: Enhancing Your Smile at Elite Endodontics of Egg Harbor with Dr. Vanessa Cabrera
Tooth fillings have long been a reliable method for restoring your smile’s form and function. Despite their effectiveness over the past century, advancements in dental materials continue to improve their durability and performance. At Elite Endodontics of Egg Harbor, Dr. Vanessa Cabrera is committed to providing cutting-edge solutions for our patients.
Innovations in Filling Materials
Researchers at the OHSU School of Dentistry in Portland, Oregon, have developed a revolutionary filling material that is twice as resistant to breakage compared to standard fillings. This new filling comprises an extremely protective coating designed to endure the stresses of normal chewing and oral conditions. Additionally, the team created an adhesive that is 30 percent stronger than current adhesives used in dental fillings. When combined, these new materials result in longer-lasting dental restorations.
Benefits of Enhanced Fillings
Traditional dental restorations typically last between seven to ten years. Over time, the pressures of chewing and the presence of bacteria can cause fillings to crack, leading to gaps and further cavities. This weakening of the tooth can transform a minor case of tooth decay into a significant, potentially serious issue.
Stronger, more resilient materials can significantly benefit patients by resisting damage from water, bacteria, and chewing. As a result, the frequency of repairing and replacing fillings decreases, saving patients time, money, and the inconvenience of extensive treatments.
