Restore Your Oral Health With Composite Fillings

When it comes to maintaining a healthy smile, prevention is key. By detecting decay early through regular checkups, we can often prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. When fillings are needed, you can trust we take the stress out of the procedure. Your dentist will use composite resin that mirrors the natural beauty of your teeth. This material, crafted from fine glass and plastic particles, creates restorations that might have you forget which tooth was filled.

Here is what to expect:

  • Your dentist will carefully remove any decay from your tooth, ensuring a clean foundation for your new filling.
  • They will select a shade of composite resin that matches your natural tooth color.
  • Your dentist will sculpt the composite material into the prepared area, recreating your tooth’s natural contours and structure.
  • Using an ultraviolet light, we will harden the composite material. It will turn the filling into a strong, durable restoration in just seconds.
  • We polish the material until it achieves the same natural sheen and texture as your surrounding teeth.
  • Finally, your dentist will perform a thorough bite check and make any necessary adjustments. Your filling will feel natural and comfortable when you bite and chew.
