Fillings

How are composite fillings placed?

This procedure is normally done in one appointment.
After the numbing of your tooth your dentist will remove any decay present or shaped as necessary. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared before the new filling is placed.
It is normal to experience sensitivity to hot and cold when composite fillings are first placed, however this will subside shortly after your tooth acclimates to the new filling.
You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.

What are the benefits of Composite Fillings?

Excellent Aesthetics – unlike the amalgams fillings, which have an unappealing silver color, the shade of composites can be easily matched with that of the natural teeth. As a result, they will blend with your natural teeth, and greatly improve your smile and overall facial aesthetics.
