Dr. Zineb Mediouni Provides White Filling Procedures to Restore Proper Tooth Function

For those who have a cavity that needs to be treated, a metal filling that needs to be replaced or a tooth with a minor chip, crack, or stain, it may be that a simple dental bonding treatment or a tooth-colored filling is all that is needed to correct the problem. Bonding and white filling procedures are a great way to improve the cosmetic appeal of teeth; Dr. Zineb Mediouni offers this non-invasive procedure at ZM Dental in Brookline, MA.

The best thing about dental bonding and white filling procedures is that they can be completed in one visit. Bonding is comparable to veneers, but is a much more cost-effective option. The procedure is also quite simple. Dr. Mediouni will utilize a shade guide in the beginning to match the resin color to the natural color of the teeth so it looks perfectly natural. After selecting the proper shade, Dr. Mediouni will begin the bonding process. He will roughen the surface of the affected tooth. The tooth will then be coated lightly with a conditioning liquid. This liquid will help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Mediouni will simply apply the tooth-colored putty and mold it to the proper shape and size. The material is then hardened with an ultraviolet light. The area will then be cleaned and polished to create a fresh, vibrant new-look.

Receiving white fillings is also a non-invasive, quick procedure. Unlike metal fillings, they do not contain any mercury, which makes them much safer than metal fillings. A local anesthetic is often utilized for these procedures to numb the tooth and the area around it. Dr. Mediouni will then drill out the area of the cavity to remove the decay. A composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied an ultraviolet light is used to harden the resin, which is then cleaned and polished.
