At Contemporary Dentistry & Implantology, we take pride in providing advanced restorative solutions, ensuring your teeth stay healthy and your smile stays radiant.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth decay occurs when bacteria in your mouth produce acid after consuming sugary foods. This acid attacks tooth enamel, causing it to lose minerals and eventually develop cavities. If left untreated, tooth decay can worsen, potentially requiring root canal therapy or even tooth extraction.
To repair damage caused by decay, cracks, or fractures, we use composite fillings made from resin and fine glass silica. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings are mercury-free and closely match the natural color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible. These modern, tooth-colored restorations not only protect your teeth but also enhance their appearance.
Advanced Techniques and Materials
At Contemporary Dentistry & Implantology, we utilize biomimetic techniques to ensure a strong and lasting bond between the composite filling and your tooth. This approach mimics the natural structure and function of your teeth, providing superior results. Our state-of-the-art technology and high-quality materials allow us to create fillings that fit perfectly, function seamlessly, and look completely natural.
The Composite Filling Process
The procedure for composite fillings is straightforward and typically completed in a single appointment. During your visit, our dentists will carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean the area, and place the composite material in layers. Each layer is cured with a special light to ensure durability and strength. Once complete, your tooth will be restored to its original shape and function.
Whether you need to repair cavities or address small chips and cracks, our skilled team ensures you leave with a restored tooth that looks and feels natural.
