ACHIEVE A RADIANT SMILE WITH COMPOSITE FILLINGS

If your smile has been impacted by decay or fractures, Cornerstone Dental Centre in Fort Saskatchewan, AB, is here to restore it with tooth-coloured composite fillings. Enhance your oral health and confidence with our effective composite filling solutions.

WHAT IS A COMPOSITE FILLING?

A composite filling, also known as a tooth-coloured or white composite filling, is a modern solution for repairing tooth decay, cracks, or fractures. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both restorative and cosmetic benefits.

BENEFITS OF COMPOSITE FILLINGS

Composite fillings offer several advantages, including:

Enhanced oral health
Preservation of natural tooth structure
Increased aesthetic appeal
Virtually undetectable and natural-looking
Versatile applications
Reduced tooth sensitivity
Mercury-free and biocompatible

EXPLORING THE DURABILITY OF A WHITE COMPOSITE FILLING

Composite fillings are highly resilient and effective for minor to moderate-sized procedures. With proper care and maintenance, they are known to be long-lasting. However, they may eventually require replacement with consistent wear.

COMPOSITE VS. AMALGAM FILLINGS

Amalgam fillings were once the standard for restorative procedures but contain toxic metals like mercury. Modern composite fillings are non-toxic and biocompatible, making them a safer and more effective choice for your oral health.

WHEN TO PURSUE A COMPOSITE FILLING PROCEDURE

Composite fillings are used in various dental applications, including:

Correcting cracked, fractured, or chipped teeth
Alleviating gaps between teeth
Addressing tooth decay
Remedial treatment for signs of wear
Cosmetic improvements
Replacement of old fillings

COMPOSITE FILLING EXAMINATION

Receiving a composite filling is a prompt and efficient procedure completed in just one visit to Cornerstone Dental Centre. We begin by assessing the area of concern and taking x-rays to understand the scope of the damage or decay. Once we determine a composite filling is suitable for the patient, we color match to achieve seamless results.

COMPOSITE FILLING PROCESS

After color matching, we provide a local anesthetic to numb the area and prepare the tooth by gently removing damaged enamel. We then apply the composite resin to the area in layers, curing each layer with a specialized lighting instrument. To complete the filling, we shape and polish the tooth for a smooth finish.

COMPOSITE FILLING AFTER-CARE

Following a composite filling procedure, it’s normal to experience temperature sensitivity, which will subside within a few days. Maintaining optimal oral hygiene and scheduling routine check-ups is essential to preserve your oral health and the integrity of your composite filling. If you notice any discomfort following your composite filling, contact our team immediately.
