Composite Fillings

At Smiline Dental, we believe in preserving your natural smile while addressing any damage caused by cavities or minor tooth fractures. Composite fillings are a safe, effective, and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring the function and appearance of your teeth. Our skilled team uses high-quality materials to provide fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both durability and a beautiful smile.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair cavities or damage in your teeth. Made from a mixture of resin and finely ground glass, these fillings can be precisely matched to the shade of your natural teeth, making them nearly invisible. Composite fillings are an excellent choice for patients who want a more natural-looking solution compared to traditional metal (amalgam) fillings.

Why Are Composite Fillings Important?

Composite fillings play an essential role in maintaining your oral health. Cavities and tooth damage, if left untreated, can worsen over time and lead to more serious issues like infection or tooth loss. By placing a composite filling, we can restore the structure and function of your tooth, preventing further damage while also enhancing the appearance of your smile. Composite fillings are also ideal for front teeth or other visible areas, as they provide a more attractive, natural-looking finish.

What Does the Composite Filling Process Involve?

At Smiline Dental, we make the composite filling process as comfortable and efficient as possible:

Initial assessment: Our dentist will examine the affected tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of the decay or damage.

Numbing the area: To ensure a painless experience, we will apply local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area before the procedure.

Removing decay or damaged areas: Once the area is numb, the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed, leaving a clean space for the filling.

Placing the composite material: The tooth-colored composite resin is applied in layers, with each layer being hardened using a special light. This ensures a strong, durable bond to the tooth.

Shaping and polishing: Once the filling is placed, our dentist will shape and polish it to blend with your natural tooth structure, ensuring a smooth, natural finish.

What Happens After Your Composite Filling?

After your composite filling is placed, you can resume normal activities almost immediately. There may be some mild sensitivity in the treated tooth, but this typically resolves within a few days. To ensure the longevity of your filling, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups. Composite fillings are durable, but like any dental restoration, they require proper care to remain in good condition.

At Smiline Dental, our goal is to provide fillings that not only restore your oral health but also enhance the appearance of your smile. With composite fillings, you can enjoy a durable, long-lasting restoration that blends beautifully with your natural teeth. Whether you need a new filling or are looking to replace old metal fillings, our team is here to ensure your smile stays healthy and radiant.
