Affordable and High-Quality Composite Fillings
A composite filling is a tooth-colored resin used to restore teeth affected by decay, cracks, or fractures. Composite fillings are also commonly used to seal cavities. The composite material can be used to rebuild chipped or worn teeth. Composite fillings are made of a mixture of fine glass or quartz filler and a resin that is used to bond the filling to the tooth.
Composite fillings are strong and durable and can be used on front or back teeth. Composite fillings are also aesthetically pleasing and can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.
As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a long-lasting, beautiful smile.
Reasons For Composite Fillings:
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Decayed teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Worn teeth
- Closing Space between two teeth
What to Expect When Receiving a Composite Filling:
Composite fillings are usually placed in one appointment. While the tooth is numb, the area will then be cleaned and prepared before the new composite filling is placed. If the decay was near the nerve of the tooth, a special medication will be applied for added protection. The composite filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, restoring your tooth to its original shape and function. Composite fillings can last for many years, and they're more aesthetically pleasing than silver amalgam fillings. They can even be matched to the color of your natural teeth!
