Sleep Dentistry for Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Dental fillings are a foundation of restorative dentistry as they repair and restore a tooth that’s been chipped, fractured or compromised by decay. One of the best ways to protect your smile is
to be proactive about eliminating tooth decay as early as possible; dental fillings help you do this.
These days, tooth-coloured composite resin is the material of choice for dental fillings instead of metal amalgam. Composite fillings are durable and aesthetic, protecting more of your natural tooth structure than amalgam fillings.
Enjoy Seamless Aesthetics with Tooth-Coloured Fillings
One of the most significant benefits of composite fillings is the aesthetics they provide. Made from a mixture of fine glass and resin particles that our dentists can custom shade to match your tooth seamlessly, composite doesn’t detract from your natural smile.
Metal fillings tend to expand and contract with temperature changes in the mouth, which causes them to pull away from the tooth and allow bacteria back in. This can cause new decay, which can discolor and damage the tooth.
You’ll never have to compromise the natural aesthetics of your smile with tooth-colored composite fillings!
Composite Fillings Provide Excellent Durability
One of the reasons that composite resin fillings are so durable is that they are bonded directly to your tooth. Since there’s no reaction to temperature changes, composite fillings hold their position and don’t allow bacteria to reenter the tooth.
They also protect your natural tooth structure since our dentists don’t have to remove as much for composite filling placement as they would for a metal filling.
