Composite Fillings Protect Your Teeth with the Help of Your 46377 Dentist
At Smile Innovations, we believe that restoring your smile should be as seamless—and natural-looking—as possible. When treating cavities or minor tooth damage, our team offers composite fillings as a conservative, aesthetically pleasing solution that blends beautifully with your natural teeth.
Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, composite fillings are made from a durable tooth-colored resin that can be closely matched to your existing tooth shade. That means your dental work stays your business—no noticeable silver spots when you laugh, speak, or smile.
What Are Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, cracks, fractures, or wear. The filling material bonds directly to your tooth structure, allowing for a strong, lasting restoration with minimal tooth reduction.
At your appointment with our trusted 48377 dentist, Dr. Tariq will assess the extent of the damage and recommend composite fillings when they are the most suitable option. These fillings are ideal for:
- Treating cavities and tooth decay
- Repairing chipped or broken teeth
- Closing small gaps between teeth
- Replacing old or worn-out metal fillings for a more natural look
What to Expect During the Procedure
When you visit Smile Innovations, you’ll receive comfortable, personalized care from our dedicated 48377 dentist. Here's what the composite filling process typically looks like:
1. Numbing the Area: We'll begin by numbing the area around the affected tooth to ensure a pain-free experience.
2. Removing the Decay: Once you're numb, we carefully remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth while preserving as much healthy structure as possible.
3. Preparing the Tooth: A conditioning agent is applied to the area to open up the tiny pores in the tooth’s surface, helping the composite material form a secure bond.
4. Applying the Composite: The tooth-colored resin is placed in thin layers. Each layer is cured and hardened using a special curing light.
5. Shaping and Polishing: Once the filling is fully placed, we’ll shape it to fit your natural bite and polish the surface until it looks and feels like part of your original tooth.
