Composite Tooth Fillings
At Great Smiles Dental Care, we use composite tooth fillings that are metal-free and will blend in beautifully with the rest of your teeth. Our tooth-colored fillings provide a reduced risk of allergic reactions for patients sensitive to metal.
Composite fillings also preserve more of your healthy tooth enamel by requiring less removal than traditional metal fillings. The result is a natural-looking restoration that protects your tooth.
Durable & Reliable
Composite fillings typically last for about five to seven years, though the duration depends on which tooth receives the filling and dietary factors. With proper care, they provide years of reliable protection.
Unlike metal amalgam fillings, our tooth-colored fillings won�t cause discoloration or temperature sensitivity, giving you a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing result.
What to Expect
The filling procedure begins with numbing the area for your comfort. Your dentist then removes the decayed portion of the tooth and cleans the cavity thoroughly.
The composite resin is applied in layers, each hardened with a curing light. Once complete, the filling is shaped and polished to match your bite and the natural contours of your tooth.
Caring for Your Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are maintained the same way as your natural teeth�with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Avoid biting down on very hard objects to extend their lifespan.
If you experience sensitivity or notice any changes around a filling, schedule a visit so we can evaluate it. Early attention keeps small problems from becoming bigger ones.
