Tooth-colored, composite dental fillings are used at our clinic to treat cavities and repair tooth damage. Our team will carefully select a shade of filling material that matches your natural tooth color. If you have a cavity, all decay is removed and your tooth is thoroughly cleaned before your filling is placed.
Benefits of Composite Dental Fillings
This is a safe restorative treatment that has many advantages over amalgam fillings, including:
- an aesthetically pleasing final result
- more support and thus reduced risk of the tooth breaking or fracturing in the future
- better insulation from temperature changes caused by foods and beverages
- better seal of the damaged area, leading to an increased resistance to decay and leaks
- the ability to repair cavities that are too small for amalgam fillings
- a safer and healthier treatment, as no mercury or other metals are used
- promotes better long-term oral health
