What Are Composite Dental Fillings?
Composite dental fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin material designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite fillings do not use metal, making them an excellent option for patients who want a more aesthetic and biocompatible solution. These fillings are used to treat cavities, repair chipped or cracked teeth and address other minor dental issues.
The process is straightforward and minimally invasive. Our dentists will remove the decayed or damaged portion of your tooth, clean the area and apply the composite material. The filling is then shaped and hardened with a special light, leaving your tooth restored and protected.
Benefits of Composite Fillings
Composite dental fillings offer a range of advantages that make them a popular choice for patients:
- Natural Appearance: Matches the color of your teeth for a seamless look.
- Durable Material: Strong enough to withstand daily chewing and biting forces.
- Minimally Invasive: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure.
- Versatile Solution: Can be used to repair cavities, chips and cracks.
- Mercury-Free: A safe, non-toxic alternative to amalgam fillings.
These benefits make composite fillings an ideal option for maintaining both the health and appearance of your teeth.
