Composite Dental Fillings
If you’re concerned about the appearance of your smile due to decayed, misshapen, or discolored teeth, you may need a tooth filling.
We offer several types of fillings, but many patients prefer white composite fillings. These fillings are made from silicon dioxide and resin, which can be color-matched to your natural teeth. Tooth filling in Chattanooga is an excellent option for restoring the health and beauty of your teeth.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
Composite fillings offer several advantages over traditional metal (silver amalgam) fillings:
- Natural Appearance: The composite material can be precisely color-matched to your teeth, making the filling virtually invisible.
- Strength and Durability: Composite fillings bond directly to your tooth, making the tooth more resilient against future decay.
- Temperature Resistance: Composite fillings provide good insulation against temperature changes, reducing sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages.
- Longevity: For small to medium-sized cavities, composite fillings can last as long as traditional metal fillings.
The Dental Filling Procedure
Getting a composite filling is a straightforward process.
- The dentist begins by numbing the area around the affected tooth to ensure you don't feel any discomfort.
- Then, the dentist carefully removes the decayed part of the tooth.
- Once the tooth is prepared, the composite resin is applied in layers, with each layer being hardened using a special light.
- Finally, the dentist shapes and polishes the resin to match the natural contours of your tooth.
