What are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are a popular dental treatment used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, wear, or trauma. Made from a mixture of glass or quartz filler and a resin medium, these fillings are designed to closely match the natural color of your teeth, making them a discreet option for restoring your smile.

The process to place composite fillings typically involves several steps. First, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth to ensure that it is clean and free from bacteria. Once the tooth is prepared, the composite material is applied in layers, and each layer is cured (hardened) using a special light. After the filling is shaped and polished, it blends seamlessly with the existing tooth.

Advantages of composite fillings include their aesthetic appeal, as they can match the natural color of your teeth, and their ability to bond directly to the tooth structure, which can help in strengthening the tooth. Additionally, composite materials are less likely to expand and contract with temperature changes compared to traditional metal fillings, reducing the risk of cracking or further damage.

When seeking dental treatments, it's important to find a skilled dentist like Dr. Philip V. Goduco, who specializes in various techniques such as traditional braces and Invisalign®. Dr. Goduco's expertise in providing thorough treatment options ensures that your oral health and smile can be enhanced effectively, whether you're opting for composite fillings or other orthodontic solutions. His emphasis on early treatment can also lead to optimal results, setting the foundation for a healthier smile as you age.
