At Hastings Family Dental, we are committed to restoring the health and beauty of your smile with the most advanced and aesthetically pleasing treatments available. Composite dental fillings are a prime example of this commitment, offering a durable and visually appealing solution for repairing cavities and tooth decay. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite fillings are crafted from a tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring your smile remains bright and natural-looking.
The process for composite dental fillings is straightforward and typically completed in just one visit:
- Tooth Preparation: Our dentists will gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the area thoroughly to prepare for the filling.
- Filling Placement: The composite resin is then applied in layers to the cavity, with each layer being hardened using a special light.
- Shaping and Polishing: Once the cavity is filled, the resin is shaped to match the contours of your tooth and polished to a smooth finish, restoring the tooth’s natural appearance and function.
Benefits of composite dental fillings include:
- Aesthetically pleasing results that match the color of your natural teeth
- Preservation of more of your natural tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings
- A strong bond to the tooth that supports its structure and prevents breakage
- Less sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
- Mercury-free and environmentally friendly
