What Are Composite Dental Fillings?
Composite dental fillings are a tooth-colored solution used to restore decayed or damaged teeth. Made from a durable resin material, composite fillings blend seamlessly with the natural tooth structure, offering a more aesthetic alternative to traditional metal fillings. These fillings can be used to repair cavities or minor fractures, providing strength and protection while maintaining the appearance of your smile.
Benefits of Composite Fillings
Dr. Huy Ngo and Dr. John Park may recommend composite fillings for their numerous advantages:
- Natural Appearance: Composite fillings match the color of your teeth, making them nearly invisible.
- Durability: Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing a strong and long-lasting restoration.
- Versatility: These fillings can be used to repair cavities in both front and back teeth.
- Less Invasive: Composite fillings require less removal of the natural tooth, preserving more of your original tooth structure.
The Filling Process
The process begins with our dentists and team carefully removing the decayed portion of the tooth. The composite material is then applied in layers, shaped and hardened using a special light. Once complete, the filling is polished to ensure a smooth and natural finish.
