Revitalize Your Smile with Composite Fillings
At Dennis Dental Care in Silver Lake, we offer composite fillings as a modern, effective solution for restoring cavities and minor tooth damage. Made from a blend of tooth-colored plastic and glass, composite fillings are designed to match your natural tooth color for a seamless, attractive finish. Unlike traditional metal fillings, they bond directly to your tooth, offering enhanced strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Ideal for anyone seeking a discreet, long-lasting solution, composite fillings combine function with beauty.
What Materials Are Used in Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are made from various advanced materials that enhance their strength, appearance, and performance:
- Acrylic Resin – Offers flexibility and bonds well to tooth surfaces.
- Glass Ionomer – Releases fluoride, helping to prevent future decay, especially in children.
- Quartz or Silica Particles – Add strength and wear resistance.
- Nano Composites – Use nanotechnology for a superior polish, excellent durability, and natural-looking results.
Together, these materials make composite fillings an ideal choice for both front and back teeth.
Benefits of Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are a preferred choice for many patients thanks to their wide range of advantages:
- Natural Look – Blends in with your existing teeth for a virtually invisible result.
- Strong Bond – Adheres directly to tooth structure, strengthening the tooth and minimizing further damage.
- Conservative Treatment – Requires less drilling than metal fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth.
- Versatile Use – Suitable for treating cavities, chips, and cracks in any tooth.
- Temperature Resistance – Helps reduce sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks.
If you’ve been avoiding photos because of a chipped tooth or old, visible filling, composite fillings can help restore your confidence.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Getting a composite filling at Dennis Dental Care is a simple and comfortable process:
- Examination & Anesthesia – Your dentist will assess the tooth and apply a local anesthetic for a pain-free experience.
- Decay Removal – The damaged portion of the tooth is gently removed and cleaned.
- Tooth Preparation – An adhesive gel is applied to help the composite bond securely.
- Layered Application – The composite resin is placed in layers and shaped to match your natural tooth.
- Curing Process – A special light hardens each layer for a strong, lasting restoration.
- Polishing – The final filling is polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth for a smooth, comfortable finish.
Each step is performed with precision to ensure a long-lasting, natural-looking result.
