Composite Dental Fillings

Taking Care of Your Teeth with Composite Dental Fillings

Maintaining your teeth is very important. When neglected, tooth decay can quickly damage the enamel, resulting in a snowball effect of additional damage, sensitivity or extreme discomfort. Fillings help strengthen the teeth and reduce any damage or risks beneath the surface. Composite dental fillings keep the appearance of your teeth healthy and decay-free.

What are Composite Dental Fillings?

Composite dental fillings are used to restore tooth decay and cosmetic improvements. A mixture of tooth-colored plastic and glass or acrylic resin, they are designed to withstand moderate pressure from chewing. They can be used on front or back teeth. Composite fillings offer some advantages over amalgam fillings, such as coloring the filling to match existing teeth. A dentist at Dr. Hattar Dental and Orthodontics will be able to match your fillings to match your smile and maintain your appearance.

Dr. Hattar Dental and Orthodontics provide comprehensive dental care in the treatment of teeth and use of composite dental fillings. The staff consults every patient on the benefits and potential implications to consider when selecting composite dental fillings. This is a process that improves the appearance but is only one option when restoring the teeth.

What Are the Benefits of Composite Dental Fillings?

There are a number of benefits associated with composite dental fillings:

  • Tooth-colored resin
  • Prevents tooth decay
  • Provides greater support in the bonding process
  • Reduction in tooth damage
  • Greater versatility in tooth repairs
  • Improved appearance

Cosmetically, composite dental fillings help maintain an attractive appearance. For individuals working in the media or in image-conscious professions, this is the preferred option but works well for individuals who want to maintain continuity in their current appearance. In both cases, there are a number of other considerations that should be involved in the decision-making process.

First, the life cycle of the material is not as durable as traditional amalgam. Composite dental fillings usually last for about five years but can be prolonged with proper maintenance. The cost of this material is higher than traditional amalgam which could play a role in the final decision. Many individuals opt for this selection regardless of the cost due to the versatility and ability to maintain their current appearance or improve their smile.
