Composite Fillings

Restore Your Smile with Natural-Looking Composite Fillings

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are a modern, natural-looking option for repairing cavities and restoring damaged teeth. Made from a tooth-colored resin material, composite fillings blend seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure, making them an ideal choice for those who want an aesthetic restoration. Composite fillings not only restore the strength and function of teeth but also maintain a beautiful, natural smile.

Why You Might Need a Composite Filling

Composite fillings are commonly used to repair teeth that have been damaged by:

• Decay: Repairs areas affected by cavities

• Small fractures or chips: Restores strength and integrity to damaged teeth

Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite materials bond directly to the tooth, preserving more of the natural tooth structure. This bonding capability provides extra strength, helping to prevent future damage and ensuring long-term stability. Composite fillings are versatile and suitable for both front and back teeth, offering a discreet solution for cavities and other minor tooth issues.

What to Expect During the Composite Filling Procedure

The composite filling process is typically completed in a single visit:

1. Preparation: The affected area is thoroughly cleaned, and any decayed portion is carefully removed.

2. Filling Application: The composite material is applied in layers, with each one hardened using a special curing light.

3. Polishing and Shaping: Once the filling is securely bonded, it’s polished and shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth, restoring both function and appearance.

Composite fillings are durable and, with proper care, provide a strong, lasting solution for tooth restoration.
