What Are Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are a form of dental restoration made of a resin material that sticks to and bonds to the tooth directly. Composite resins can also be used to repair a cavity, a cracked tooth, or other small damage on the tooth, conserving as much tooth structure as possible. The resin material can be shaped and polished to more closely resemble a natural tooth, making this a good option where your teeth are more visible.
Composite Fillings Symptoms
- Teeth with cavities or decay.
- Minor cracks or chips in teeth.
- Tooth discoloration or staining that requires restoration.
- Replacing old or damaged fillings.
If you’ve experienced sensitivity, pain, or any visible damage, visiting a dentist near you is a good way to find out if composite fillings are the right choice.
Our Process
- Initial Evaluation & Assessment: The dentist will look at the tooth in question and may take digital images to determine the best course of action for the restoration.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth will be prepared by removing the areas of decay and damage so there is a clean surface to bond to.
- Application of Composite Material: Tooth-colored material is applied in layers according to the dentist and then sculpted and shaped.
- Curing: A specialized light is used to cure the resin and adhere the filling to your tooth.
- Polishing & Finishing: The filling is shaped and polished so that it matches your tooth.
