Transform Your Smile with Natural-Looking White Fillings: The Modern Solution for Cavities

Composite fillings offer several advantages, making them the go-to choice for cosmetic and functional dental needs.

• White fillings look like your natural teeth, so they’re virtually invisible.
• Your tooth structure is preserved, with minimal enamel being removed. 
• The composite material bonds strongly to the tooth, making it more stable. 
• The composite material can be used for several different dental fixes.
• No concerns about metal allergies.
• White fillings are durable enough to hold up under daily wear and tear. 

First, we will use a local anesthetic to numb the area around the affected tooth. Once your dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth, they will thoroughly clean the inside to prevent bacteria from getting trapped under the composite filling. The composite resin is applied in layers, each set using a special curing light. After the final layer is applied and cured, the dentist shapes and polishes the filling to ensure it looks and feels natural.

Composite fillings are commonly used in cosmetic dentistry to repair chipped or cracked teeth. They can also be utilized to close small gaps between teeth using composite resin. Additionally, this material can enhance the appearance of discolored teeth or reshape misshapen teeth.

With proper care, a composite filling typically lasts between five and ten years. It depends on where the filling is located, as well as your diet and oral hygiene habits. For example, molars can wear down more quickly and may need to be replaced eventually. 

Composite fillings are safe for people of all ages. The material used for white fillings is mercury-free and non-toxic, so it’s the ideal solution for health-conscious people.
