What is dental composite?

It is a type of resin that is made with different degrees of strength, polishability, and refractive index. In this technique, teeth can be made white according to the taste of each person or exactly similar to their natural teeth, solving the appearance problems of the teeth, and giving them beauty.

Advantages of dental composites

Correcting the clutter and irregularity of broken teeth, short and long teeth make your teeth look inappropriate and irregular. These irregularities can be corrected with composite treatment and the teeth can be changed according to each person’s taste, shape, size, and color.
Correction of tooth discoloration and discoloration
The yellowness of some teeth cannot be corrected and treated with treatment methods such as bleaching, in this case, composite veneer is one of the most affordable options for covering discolored teeth and dental defects.
Filling the gap between the teeth
Composite treatment is one of the most suitable treatments to fix the gap between teeth. The spaces between the teeth are usually created congenitally or as a result of orthodontics, which composite treatment can be a very suitable solution for its correction.
No need for tooth sharpening or a very low amount of sharpening
One of the most important advantages of composite is that, according to the patient’s condition, it can be done with minimal grinding or without grinding, to the extent that the tooth enamel is fresh and enough space is created to make a composite veneer to give a beautiful appearance to the teeth.
Running speed:
Composite veneer treatment is performed in a very short time, usually within one to two sessions, because it does not require a laboratory, and it has a shorter time frame than other ceramic treatments.
Reasonable cost
Dental composite has a more reasonable price than other beauty treatments due to its implementation technique and ingredients.
Easy and convenient repair
Considering that the implementation of dental composite is clinical and is made without the need of a laboratory, if the composite tooth is filled with lip filling and has considerable damage or changes in color, it can be easily repaired and can even be customized. A person changed its color and size.

What kind of teeth is composite suitable for?

It is suitable for people who:

They have dental defects, they don’t have a beautiful smile, and they want to improve their smile design to have an attractive and beautiful smile.
Their teeth are discolored and very yellow.
They have short and long teeth, the appearance of the teeth is not uniform and they are disordered.
There is a gap between the teeth and they prefer composite treatment to orthodontics.
Their teeth are broken or cracked, which can be repaired using composite.
They are looking for the shine and whitening of their teeth.

The best dental composite brand

Swiss, American and Japanese brands can be mentioned among the best dental composite producing countries.

Most of the composites have a global standard, and it is the dentist’s skill that can create a lasting and beautiful effect. Choose a dentist who has the necessary skills for this treatment, so as not to cause serious problems in the soft tissue of the mouth, i.e. the gums.

Life and durability of dental composite

The durability of composite depends on various factors, the most important of which is its execution method and material. Keep in mind that the knowledge, experience, technique and expertise of a cosmetic dentist are among the most important factors affecting the beauty of teeth in composite.

Another factor for the longevity of the composite is its maintenance and care by the patient. Due to the fact that composites are naturally colorable depending on the type of food consumption, it is necessary to visit them annually for re-polishing and follow-up. The more and better the patient’s care, the longer it will last. With composite teeth, you should take care of your mouth and teeth more than before, brushing and flossing twice a day to prevent decay and bad breath. By taking oral and dental hygiene seriously, the durability of the composite will be approximately 7 to 10 years.

The difference between veneer composite and ceramic laminates

Composite and laminate are both used to beautify teeth and improve smile design, but in addition to these similarities, there are also differences in both beauty methods, including:

The most important difference is the durability of ceramic laminates, both in terms of color stability and strength compared to veneer composites.
In fact, laminates have a lifespan of approximately 15 to 20 years, while composite veneers are more fragile and have a lifespan of approximately 7 to 10 years.
Their second difference is in their colorability. It can almost be said that if the ceramic laminate is properly cemented with teeth, it will have color stability throughout its twenty-year life and will not need annual polishing to restore the color. While composites are inherently color sensitive and need annual care (polishing) to restore their color.
Another difference is the duration of their treatment, so the composite is done in one to two sessions without the need for a laboratory, but ceramics take approximately two to three weeks and will require a laboratory.
The cost of treating laminates is higher than composites due to the addition of laboratory fees.
Due to the presence of lithium disilicate particles in them, e-max ceramic laminates have a significant beauty compared to composites and look considerably more natural.
The restoration and reconstruction of composites will be much easier than ceramic laminates and will be done by a dentist during a session in the clinic.

It is noteworthy that today, with the advancement of dentistry and the higher quality of the materials used in it, whether in composite treatments or ceramic laminations, there may be no need to sharpen the teeth, and if it is necessary, to the extent of tooth enamel. It will be 0.5 mm from its surface.

Now, by knowing the mentioned differences, it becomes easier to decide for beauty procedures, whether laminate or composite is better for you
