Composite Fillings:

What You Need to Know

Service description

If you have a cavity in one of your teeth, you may need a filling to restore it and prevent further damage. But what kind of filling should you choose? There are different types of fillings available, such as amalgam, gold, ceramic, and glass ionomer. However, one of the most popular and esthetic options is composite fillings. Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin material that can blend in with your natural teeth. They can also be used to repair chipped, cracked, or worn teeth.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are dental restorations that use a mixture of plastic and glass particles to fill cavities or repair teeth. They are also known as resin fillings, white fillings, or tooth-colored fillings. They have a natural appearance and can be customized to match the shade of your tooth.
Composite fillings are suitable for small to medium-sized cavities, especially in the front teeth or the visible parts of the back teeth. They can also be used to fix minor cosmetic issues, such as gaps, chips, or stains. Composite fillings can bond to the tooth structure, which means less tooth tissue needs to be removed compared to other types of fillings.

How Are Composite Fillings Placed?

The procedure for placing composite fillings is similar to that of other fillings. First, the dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic. Then, they will remove the decayed or damaged part of the tooth with a drill or a laser. Next, they will clean and dry the tooth and apply a bonding agent to help the composite material adhere to the tooth.
The composite material is then applied in layers, each one hardened with a special light. The dentist will shape and polish the filling to fit the tooth and restore its function and appearance. The whole process usually takes about an hour, depending on the size and location of the cavity.

What Are The Benefits Of Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings have several advantages over other types of fillings, such as:

  • They look natural and can improve the esthetics of your smile.
  • They are strong and durable enough to withstand normal chewing and biting pressure for several years.
  • They are biocompatible and do not contain mercury or other metals that may cause allergic reactions or sensitivity.

They preserve more of the healthy tooth structure and reduce the risk of fracture or infection.

How To Care For Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are easy to maintain and do not require any special care. However, you should follow some general tips to keep them in good condition and prevent future problems, such as:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque and food debris.
  • Rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash after eating or drinking anything that may stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, wine, or berries.
  • Avoid biting or chewing on hard or sticky foods or objects, such as ice, candy, or pens, that may damage your fillings or your teeth.
  • Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings to monitor the condition of your fillings and your oral health.
