A cavity doesn’t have to ruin your smile. Gone are the days when treating tooth decay meant leaving the dentist with a mouth full of dark, metal spots.
If you are living in or visiting Hanoi and need a dental repair that is both durable and undetectable, Navii Dental Clinic offers the perfect solution right here in the heart of the city.
Discover why Natural Looking Composite Fillings (often called “white fillings”) are the top choice for patients in Hanoi’s Old Quarter.
What Are Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are a modern restoration material made from a mixture of high-quality plastic resin and glass particles. Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, composite resin can be formulated to match the exact shade and translucency of your natural teeth.
The result? A repair so seamless that even you might forget which tooth was treated!
Why Choose Composite Over Silver (Amalgam)?
Many patients come to us asking to replace their old metal fillings or treat new cavities with something more aesthetic. Here is why Composite is the superior choice:
1. Superior Aesthetics (The “Invisible” Look)
This is the biggest advantage. Silver fillings darken over time, making your teeth look gray or black, especially when you laugh or yawn. Composite fillings blend perfectly with your enamel. whether it is a front tooth or a back molar, the filling remains your little secret.
2. Conservative Treatment (Less Drilling)
Metal fillings require dentists to remove a significant amount of healthy tooth structure to create a “pocket” to hold the material in place. Composite fillings, on the other hand, chemically bond directly to the tooth surface. This means we can preserve more of your natural tooth structure, keeping the tooth stronger in the long run.
3. Mercury-Free and Safe
Traditional silver fillings contain mercury. While deemed safe by many organizations, many patients prefer to avoid mercury for peace of mind. Composite resin is 100% mercury-free and non-toxic.
4. Reduced Sensitivity
Metal is a thermal conductor—it expands and contracts with hot coffee or ice cream, often causing sensitivity or even cracking the tooth over time. Composite resin insulates the tooth, significantly reducing sensitivity to temperature changes.
When Do You Need a Composite Filling?
Our dentists at Navii recommend composite bonding for:
- Treating Cavities: Fixing decay while maintaining a white smile.
- Replacing Old Metal Fillings: Swapping out dark amalgam for a fresh, white look.
- Repairing Chipped Teeth: Fixing minor chips or cracks (often called Cosmetic Bonding).
- Closing Gaps: Filling small spaces between teeth (Diastema closure).
