CONSERVATIVE TREATMENTS
It is our form of treatment where we can provide the most benefit with the least damage to your decayed teeth. They are mostly known as dental fillings among the people. It is the basic treatment practice in dentistry. However, in order for it to be applied, the tooth should not be damaged much, in other words, there should not be much loss of tooth hard tissue. Otherwise, it will not be possible to ensure the retention of the filling and the tooth will be covered. Basically, there are 2 types of filling types: composite (white, tooth-colored) and amalgam (grayish metallic color). In our clinic, we prefer to apply composite (white color) fillings to both anterior and posterior teeth. On the other hand, we apply amalgam filling in cases where the conditions for making the composite filling cannot be fulfilled (for example, when the caries extends under the gingiva).
