When a tooth is damaged by minor to moderate decay or injury, our knowledgeable dentist may recommend a composite filling. Dental fillings are typically used when the damage or decay requires repair but is not extensive enough to warrant the use of a dental crown. In order to restore the health and function of the tooth, we first remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. Dr. [doctor_name] will then carefully clean the tooth and fill it with composite resin. Once [heshe] has sculpted the resin material to match the shape of the tooth and to fit your bite, we harden the filling with a special light. Your composite dental filling in [city], [state] can typically be completed in only one pleasant visit to our office.
Composite fillings are a great option for restoring your smile because they are durable and natural looking. Composite resin can be tinted to match the original shade of your tooth, giving your smile a consistent, aesthetic appearance. The resin also bonds with the natural tooth structure, strengthening the tooth and preventing further decay in the future. To learn more about the advantages of composite fillings, we invite you to call or visit our friendly dental office today. We are dedicated to returning your smile to optimal health!
