A Natural and Durable Solution
Dental composite fillings are a popular restorative option used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or other structural issues. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, which are made from a mixture of metals, composite fillings are made from a tooth-coloured resin material that closely matches the colour and appearance of natural teeth.
One of the primary advantages of composite fillings is their aesthetic appeal. Because they can be colour-matched to the surrounding teeth, composite fillings blend seamlessly with the natural tooth structure, creating a more natural and cosmetically pleasing result. This makes composite fillings an ideal choice for repairing cavities in visible areas of the mouth, such as the front teeth.

The process of placing a composite filling is relatively simple and can typically be completed in a single dental appointment. First, the affected tooth is cleaned and prepared, and any decayed or damaged tissue is removed. Then, the composite resin material is applied to the tooth in layers and sculpted to restore its natural shape and contour. Finally, the filling is hardened and bonded to the tooth using a special curing light, ensuring a strong and durable restoration.
After the filling is placed, patients may experience some mild sensitivity or discomfort, which should subside within a few days. With proper oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, composite fillings can provide lasting protection and preserve the health and integrity of the tooth for years to come.
