Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair cavities and minor tooth damage. Made from a durable, resin-based material, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a more aesthetic solution than traditional metal fillings. These fillings are ideal for areas visible when you smile, ensuring a discreet, natural appearance. The procedure is minimally invasive, preserving healthy tooth structure. Composite fillings are durable, resistant to wear, and can last many years with proper care. If you're looking for a reliable, attractive option to restore your smile, composite fillings are an excellent choice.

Microhybrid Composite Fillings
These fillings combine fine and micro-sized particles to balance strength and aesthetic appeal. They are durable, wear-resistant, and offer a smooth, natural appearance.

Nanohybrid Composite Fillings
Featuring advanced nanoparticle technology, these fillings provide superior strength, excellent bonding, and resistance to staining, making them ideal for both small and large cavities.

Flowable Composite Fillings
Flowable composites are thinner and more flexible, ideal for small cavities and minimal tooth preparation. They adapt well to irregular surfaces.

Condensable Composite Fillings
These fillings are thicker and more suitable for larger cavities, offering better resistance to wear and ensuring a substantial, long-lasting restoration.

Each material ensures that composite fillings are functional and visually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Composite fillings offer several key benefits, making them a preferred option for dental restorations:

Aesthetic Appeal
Composite fillings blend seamlessly with natural tooth color, offering a discreet solution for cavities, especially in visible areas.

Durability
Composite materials are strong and durable, providing long-lasting results that can withstand regular chewing forces.

Minimally Invasive
The process requires less removal of healthy tooth structure than traditional fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth.

Quick and Comfortable Procedure
Composite fillings can be placed in a single visit, and the process is generally pain-free, requiring no anesthetic for small cavities.

Stain Resistance
Composite fillings resist staining, maintaining their natural appearance longer than metal fillings.

At Dennis Dental Care, your comfort and satisfaction are our priorities. Each step is performed with precision and care, resulting in a long-lasting, natural-looking restoration.

Initial Consultation
Your dentist will assess the cavity or damage and discuss the best treatment options, including composite fillings. An X-ray may be taken to check the extent of the issue.

Numbing the Area
To ensure comfort, the dentist will apply a local anesthetic to numb the area around the affected tooth, making the procedure painless.

Preparing the Tooth
The dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the area to prepare it for the composite filling.

Applying the Composite
The dentist will apply the composite material in layers, molding it to match your tooth’s natural shape.

Curing the Material
A special light hardens each composite material layer, ensuring a durable and strong restoration.

Polishing the Filling
Once the filling is set, the dentist will polish it to match the appearance of your natural teeth.

Composite fillings typically last between 5 to 10 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene, the location of the filling, and your dental habits. Proper care, such as regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits, can help extend their lifespan. While composite fillings are durable, they may need replacement or maintenance over time due to wear, staining, or damage. Avoid chewing hard objects for longer-lasting results, and seek professional advice on maintaining your fillings.
