At Carolina Avenue Dental Care, we are committed to restoring the health and aesthetics of your smile. Our experienced dentist and team offer composite dental fillings, a modern solution for repairing cavities and preserving your natural tooth appearance.
Understanding Composite Dental Fillings
Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. They are used to repair a tooth affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing not only functional restoration but also a cosmetically pleasing result.
Your Composite Dental Filling Experience
Our dentist will ensure your comfort throughout the filling process. After removing decay, the tooth is cleaned and prepared. The composite material is then placed in layers and hardened with a special light. Finally, the filling is shaped and polished to restore your tooth to its original shape and function.
Benefits of Composite Fillings
- Aesthetic Appeal: They closely match the color of your natural teeth.
- Less Tooth Structure Removal: Often, less tooth structure needs to be removed compared with amalgam fillings.
- Strong Bonding: They bond directly to the tooth surface, providing additional support.
- Durable: With proper care, they can last for many years.
- Versatile: Suitable for repairing both front and back teeth.
