Made from acrylic resin, composite fillings match the color of your natural teeth and can fix damage left by fractures, cavities, and chips. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, they're also metal-free and resistant to staining. If you need composite fillings, we will:
When bacteria eat away the enamel on your teeth, they form cavities and produce pain and sensitivity. Fillings cover the pits left by decay to prevent further damage and restore the tooth's structure.
Cracked or chipped teeth can result from falls, biting hard objects, or teeth grinding. With fillings, we can complete your tooth and preserve its appearance.
Traditional fillings wear down or become discolored after being exposed to food, drinks, tobacco, and other substances. Therefore, you will need to replace them every 10 to 15 years.
During the procedure, we will start by numbing the affected area to ensure you’re comfortable. Next, we’ll remove any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth, leaving behind a clean surface. The composite filling material, matched to the color of your natural teeth, is then carefully applied in layers and sculpted to the desired shape.
We’ll use special light to harden each layer and bond it securely to the tooth. Finally, we will polish the filling to make it blend with your existing tooth structure.
With composite fillings, you can enjoy a seamless smile restoration that's durable, natural-looking, and resistant to staining.
