To maintain their healthy smile, we recommend fillings for adults and children that can restore their teeth and prevent the spread of cavities. A filling can also relieve the discomfort you may experience when biting or chewing food. Common reasons for getting a dental filling include:
Our practice offers tooth-colored fillings that are made of a material known as composite resin. Unlike silver fillings, composite resin matches the color of your teeth, making it nearly invisible. This means you won’t have to feel self-conscious about their teeth and can keep smiling confidently!
Composite fillings also require less preparation, making the procedure more comfortable for you. In some cases, we also use a white filling material called glass ionomer cement (GIC). It releases fluoride, which helps strengthen the tooth structure. For this reason, it can be used as a temporary filling for decayed baby teeth.
The procedure of placing dental fillings is quick and pain-free. We understand that most people feel restless during dental procedures, so we use dental sedation to help them relax and feel comfortable. Next, our dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and smoothens any rough edges while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
We then apply the composite filling, choosing a shade that matches your natural teeth. After curing the filling with a special light, we make adjustments to ensure it blends well with your smile.
Yes, unlike silver fillings, composite fillings are completely safe and do not pose any health risks.
Our team uses effective techniques such as dental sedation to ensure you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout treatment.
Composite fillings are very resilient and durable. They can last many years with proper oral care.
