At Anderson Family Dentistry, we are committed to restoring the health and beauty of your smile with the latest advancements in dental care, including composite dental fillings. These tooth-colored fillings are a preferred choice for many of our patients, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to cavities. Made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles, composite fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a more natural appearance than traditional silver amalgam fillings.
The Dental Dental Filling Process
The process of receiving a composite filling is straightforward and efficient. After numbing the affected area, our skilled Midlothian dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean the cavity, and then carefully layer the composite material into the prepared space. Each layer is hardened with a special light, and the filling is shaped and polished to match the contours of your tooth, restoring its original shape and function.
The Benefits of Composite Dental Fillings
Choosing composite fillings offers several benefits:
- Aesthetically pleasing results that match the color of your natural teeth
- Preservation of more of the natural tooth structure, as composite fillings, require less removal of tooth material
- A strong bond to the tooth structure, providing additional support
- Compatibility with dental sealants, allowing for a comprehensive approach to decay prevention
- Minimal sensitivity to temperature changes
