Getting a cavity used to mean coming home from the dentist’s office with an unsightly metal filling. Not anymore!
Composite fillings are a great alternative to traditional metal fillings, both in aesthetic and function.
During this procedure, resinonlays are bonded to the natural teeth, creating a tight, superior fit to the tooth that prevents breakage in the future.
The resin wears just like natural teeth and does not require placement at the gum line, which is also healthier for your gums!
Composite restorations look similar to your natural tooth and can be blended to match your teeth.

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin material to repair chipped, discolored, or decayed teeth. Unlike traditional fillings that often use metal or silver amalgam, composite bonding matches the natural color of your teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing result.
Composite bonding is a durable option, but it's not considered a permanent solution. On average, it can last between 5 to 10 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene and daily habits. Over time, the composite material may wear down or become discolored, so touch-ups or replacements may be needed.
The Composite Bonding procedure is typically painless, and anesthesia is usually not required unless the bonding is being used to fill a cavity or repair a deeply damaged tooth. The process is minimally invasive and involves roughening the tooth surface, applying the resin, and curing it with a special light.
There are no specific dietary restrictions after getting a permanent tooth filling. However, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing. Avoid habits like chewing ice or using your teeth as tools, as these actions can increase the risk of damaging the filling or your natural teeth.
