“Composite Filling, A Holistic & Aesthetic Solution”.

GET RID OF YOUR OLD METAL FILLINGS!

Why are composite fillings a better solution than metal fillings?

Every day, our teeth are exposed to acidic foods and drinks, plaque, and bacteria. Over time, this can lead to tooth decay and cavities. One way to rebuild your tooth after the removal of a cavity is to get composite fillings which are made from a mixture of glass or quartz filler and resin. They are designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth, making them a more aesthetic option than metal fillings but that’s not all; composite fillings also have a number of other benefits. Here is a short video example of a composite filling restoration.

Natural look and durable material.

Composite fillings are available in a variety of colors, so they can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. They can be used on both front and back teeth and are usually more aesthetic than other types of dental fillings.

Composite dental fillings have several advantages over other types of dental fillings such as being less likely to cause tooth sensitivity because they do not contain metals such as mercury. Composite fillings bond well to teeth, which helps to support the remaining tooth structure and prevents further damage. In addition, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, which helps to support and strengthen the tooth. If a cavity is deemed too large for a composite filling restoration there is other solutions such as ceramic inlays or ceramic crowns, you can learn more on our techniques for ceramic crown and ceramic inlay restorations here:

Composite dental fillings are placed using a tooth-colored resin that is matched to the patient’s natural tooth color. The resin is applied to the tooth and hardened using a special blue light. Once the resin is hardened, it is polished to give the tooth a natural-looking finish.

Safe & Long lasting.

Composite dental fillings are made of a mixture of glass or quartz filler and a resin binder and can last for many years. In addition, composite fillings are less likely to cause cracking and tooth breakage and leakage than amalgam fillings.
