With this durable material, Dr. Aurora can enhance the beauty of your smile and prevent the risk of further damage in the future.
Benefits of Composite Dental Fillings
Composite resin is a tooth-colored dental material that can be sculpted to recreate the natural contours of your teeth. It offers many benefits, which include:
- Enhanced aesthetics: The primary advantage of composite fillings is that they blend perfectly into your teeth, offering exceptional aesthetics.
- Improved oral functions: Restoration of the cavities or gaps with composite can allow you to bite and chew more comfortably.
- Durability: It is a highly resilient and durable material that can withstand routine wear and tear. These fillings can last for 7 to 10 years.
- Thermal resistance: Unlike metal fillings, composite does not conduct heat. You can enjoy hot or cold things without the risk of sensitivity.
- Minimally invasive: The treatment procedure does not involve extensive preparation and takes less than half an hour.
- No health risks: These fillings are mercury-free and do not contain any chemicals that may harm your oral health.
Are Composite Fillings Right for Me
If you are concerned about minor dental flaws or cavities, composite dental fillings might be the best option for you. Due to its resemblance to the natural shade of teeth, it is an ideal filling material for the restoration of:
- Chipped teeth
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Small cavities
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth with old metal fillings
- Root-canal-treated teeth
During your initial appointment, our dentist will examine the condition of your teeth to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment. If your teeth are grossly damaged or decayed, we may recommend dental crowns or replacement with dental bridges.

Process of Composite Dental Fillings
The procedure begins with a detailed examination of your teeth. We may also record digital dental X-rays to visualize the extent of damage. Next, we will use a shade guide to select the right shade of composite resin that resembles your natural teeth.
The tooth preparation for this procedure is minimal and does not involve the removal of healthy enamel. We will only remove the decayed portion and smoothen the rough edges.
After this step, we will apply a thin, acidic gel and then an adhesive that facilitates the bonding of the material with the tooth structure.
We will place the filling material and mold it to restore the ideal shape of your teeth. In the final steps, we will cure the resin, smoothen its surface, and polish it for a seamless appearance.
