Dental composite steps
Dental composite installation steps include the initial visit and selection of the composite according to the conditions of the teeth and the patient's tastes, and continue until the final installation and patient approval.
Dr. Biraghi's dental clinic includes the following 7 main steps: The patient is evaluated by the doctor. Crooked, decayed or discolored teeth are the best candidates for restoration with composite.
Selecting the color of composite veneer:
At this stage, the patient, in consultation with the doctor, chooses the color of the composite according to the color of the teeth and his personal taste. Of course, in choosing the color, you must pay attention to its naturalness and the color of the adjacent teeth.
Inspection of the condition of the gums and teeth:
At this stage, the doctor first evaluates the teeth that need to be repaired and filled, and after solving the decay problems and other necessary treatments, he starts installing the composite. Also, for better adhesion of the veneer to the tooth, the surface of the teeth must be completely cleaned and dried.
Partial shaving of tooth enamel:
In some cases, it is necessary to shave the surface layer of tooth enamel to create better friction between the surface of the tooth and the composite material. With this work, the upper surface of the tooth is smoothed and polished and ready for better veneer installation.
Acid cleaning of the teeth:
At this stage, the doctor soaks the teeth in an acidic gel-like substance containing 30-40% phosphoric acid to fully connect the resin composite. Then, after 15 seconds, he washes and dries the teeth completely to install the resin.
Placing the composite material and shaping:
After going through the previous steps, the doctor places the composite material on the teeth and starts shaping it with special tools. This stage is a very important stage and its quality depends on the high expertise of the dentist.
Vener hardening and final polishing:
After installing the composite material, it is hardened by light rays with a specific wavelength. The composite material is hardened and attached to the tooth through laser light with a specific wavelength within 10 to 20 seconds. Finally, about 2 mm will be added to the thickness of each tooth. If the patient is satisfied, a polishing operation is done using a special tool to make the teeth smooth and shiny.
All the above steps to get beautiful, smooth and shiny teeth are done at Dr. Biraghi Clinic in Zafaranieh. Of course, in this clinic, due to the high sensitivity and direct connection with the coordination of the teeth with speaking and chewing, the teeth polishing stage may take place in several sessions.
Because a precise and calculated polishing can create the best balance between the patient's jaw and teeth after the composite is done. But in the dental clinic of Dr. Amir Biraki, the price of the best composite is around 6 million Tomans.
Note that this price is the same for different brands and the quality is the same, and patients can choose the dental composite they want from among the best brands in the market.

Dental laminate with composite
Although dental laminate and composite are both therapeutic, restorative and aesthetic methods in the field of dentistry, they definitely have differences in various factors. Below we examine 4 differences between dental laminate and composite.
implantation and installation process: To install laminate, teeth need to be shaved more than composite and its installation process is relatively longer than composite.
Price: dental laminate has a higher price than dental composite due to the use of higher quality materials and a more complicated installation process.
Length Life: In the manufacture of laminate, a material called porcelain is used, which is stronger and more durable than composite resin.
Installation time: The process of installing composite based on the number of teeth is sometimes done in one session. While the installation time of the laminate is longer due to shaving the teeth and making the laminates in the laboratory, and it is done in a higher number of sessions.

Dental composite lifespan
Dental composite lifespan According to Dr. Biraghi, between 5 and 7 years. However, the increase or decrease of this durability depends on several factors such as: compliance with oral hygiene and manners, care in chewing, not using hard materials, not smoking, etc.
Some patients who have had composite implants in the Saffron Dental Clinic have been visiting the office for periodic checkups and are amazed at the longevity and durability of their dental veneers.
All these satisfactions and success in implantation, in addition to compliance The care after composite implantation depends on the quality of the materials used and the skill of the dentist.
But what cares and solutions should we take to increase the lifespan of dental veneers. In the following, we will discuss the important care after installing composite.

Before the installation of composites, the teeth may suffer from decay or chipped lips due to various reasons such as not taking proper care of them. In addition, some problems such as the distance between the teeth can be with the person from the beginning.
