Composite Fillings near me

Composite fillings are a popular choice for repairing decayed, cracked, or worn teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings are made of tooth-colored resin, offering a natural and undetectable restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are a modern dental solution designed to restore the structure and function of teeth affected by decay or damage. They not only provide durability but also maintain the aesthetics of your natural teeth. These fillings are crafted from a blend of resin and ceramic, ensuring strength and a lifelike appearance.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

  • Aesthetically Pleasing: Tooth-colored resin mimics the natural shade of your teeth, making the filling virtually invisible.
  • Durable and Long-Lasting: Composite fillings are strong enough to withstand daily chewing forces.
  • Minimal Tooth Removal: These fillings bond directly to the tooth, preserving more of the natural structure.

The Composite Filling Procedure

1.Preparation: The dentist isolates the tooth to keep it dry and free of saliva.

2.Decay Removal: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed using air abrasion or other tools.

3.Layering Resin: Composite resin is applied in layers to fill the cavity.

4.Curing with Light: Each layer is hardened using a special curing light.

5.Shaping and Polishing: Once filled, the tooth is shaped and polished to resemble its natural form.

Preventing Tooth Decay and Damage

To minimize your risk of needing fillings in the future, follow these tips:

  • Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.
  • Limit consumption of sugary or acidic foods and drinks.
  • Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups.
