With our commitment to conservative dentistry, we focus on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while ensuring you leave our practice happy, confident, and satisfied.
The Shift to Composite Fillings
Composite fillings, made from a blend of plastic resins and fine glass particles, represent a significant advancement in dental restoration technology. These tooth-colored fillings offer several advantages over traditional metal fillings, making them a preferred choice for our patients:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Composite fillings can be closely matched to the shade of your existing teeth, ensuring that your fillings are virtually invisible.
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: The process of placing a composite filling requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings, allowing us to preserve more of your natural tooth.
- Durability: Designed to withstand the forces of chewing, composite fillings are suitable for restoring both front and back teeth.
- Bonding to Tooth Structure: Composite materials bond directly to the tooth surface, providing additional support and minimizing the risk of breakage or leakage.
