At Birmingham Emergency Dental, we offer composite restorations—also known as tooth-colored fillings—as a durable, aesthetic solution for treating cavities, minor fractures, and cosmetic imperfections. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite materials blend naturally with your teeth and provide long-lasting results without metal.
Composite restorations are used to restore function, structure, and appearance to teeth that have been compromised by decay, injury, or wear. Common situations include:
When bacteria erode enamel and create a cavity, composite fillings are used to restore the tooth and prevent further damage. These fillings bond directly to the tooth for added strength.
Small cracks, chips, or worn enamel can be repaired using composite material to restore the shape and protect the underlying structure.
Composite resin can also be used to improve the appearance of discolored, uneven, or slightly misshapen teeth, offering a minimally invasive cosmetic solution.
Our process is comfortable, efficient, and typically completed in a single visit.
Local Anesthesia
We begin by numbing the area to ensure a pain-free experience.
Tooth Preparation
Any decayed or damaged tooth material is carefully removed, and the area is cleaned and prepared.
Filling Application
The composite resin is applied in layers, shaped to match your natural tooth, and hardened using a specialized curing light.
Polishing and Finishing
The restoration is smoothed and polished to ensure a seamless finish and a natural appearance.
Composite restorations provide a conservative yet highly effective way to restore your smile. If you’re experiencing sensitivity, pain, or visible damage to a tooth, our team at Birmingham Emergency Dental is here to help.
