Composite Resin Fillings

The durability of tooth-coloured fillings has been closely matching that of silver fillings (amalgam) for decades now but has become the increasingly more prominent choice. These composite resin ones are made out of tiny ceramic or glass particles and BPA-free plastics to create an instantly hardening material when exposed under a special curing light--perfect if you prefer your teeth to look shiny!

Dental Decay & Fillings

The enamel on your teeth is made up primarily out of hard substance called dentin, which can be damaged by decay because it's softer than the surrounding area. This process begins with bacteria disrupting their outer layer and then proceeding into an inner section where pain may arise due to proximity from nerve endings inside that tooth.

 

Well, you're probably wondering how does this happen? Bacteria attack our natural defenses in order for them to perform their task which ultimately leads us down a slippery slope towards cavities or even gum disease! But don't worry - we recommend regular dental x-rays so as soon signs appear before any infections develop.

Treat Decay Early to Avoid More Major Problems

There are a few different ways to get rid of tooth decay before it becomes too late. You can have your dentist prepare the area with a native bonding agent, which will secure any filling work done on that particular spot and ensure you don’t experience pain from phantom touch or hot/cold sensations when eating certain foods in future! Our dental professionals may also use nitrous oxide gas if necessary - this is usually safe even for children whose teeth we're working around at nighttime while they sleep so long as there isn't damage being caused elsewhere within their mouth

Benefits of Composite Resin Fillings

Tooth colored fillings have a number of benefits over amalgam. They're natural looking, don't contain any mercury and more importantly for some people the color matches their own teeth!

  • Natural Appearance
  • No Metal Components
  • Bonds Directly to the Tooth
  • More Conservative

Cosmetic Bondings

Natural-looking composite dental bondings are great, affordable ways to make cosmetic changes including:

  • Filling in small chips
  • Narrowing gaps between teeth
  • Reshaping irregular teeth
  • Covers discolouration 

Whitening with Composite Fillings

In order to get the best results from composite resin, it’s important that you choose a color match. If your goal is whiter teeth and brighter smile overall, then we recommend whitening first before choosing what kind of filling or bonding material might work well with achieving this look!
