Composite Fillings
The preferred choice for minor restorations. No longer do you have to tolerate metal fillings.
Our Doctors have chosen to place only tooth-colored, composite fillings. Composite fillings contain no mercury as do traditional amalgam (metal) fillings. They are a less aggressive form of treatment and will not cause the breakage of teeth from thermal expansion as metal fillings can. Best of all the result is white, tooth-colored fillings that are virtually undetectable!
Fillings are done to remove tooth decay and replace the affected tooth structure. Composite Resin fillings are made of a plastic dental resin and are strong and durable, making your smile look very natural. The resin is applied in layers and a dental light is used to harden the resin after it is applied. Your bite will be adjusted and your tooth polished. This is all done in one appointment. It is important to get any fillings completed that the dentist recommends in order to prevent further decay from developing.
