Frequently Asked Questions for Composite Fillings

A composite filling is a tooth-colored resin material used to restore decayed or damaged teeth. It is also commonly used to improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth. Compared to traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings offer a more natural-looking result.

To apply a composite filling, the dentist will first remove any decayed or damaged tooth structure. They will then prepare the tooth surface by cleaning and etching it to help the filling material adhere. The composite resin is then applied in layers and hardened using a special light. Once the filling is complete, the dentist will shape and polish it to create a natural-looking result.

The lifespan of a composite filling can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene habits, the location of the filling, and the size of the filling. With proper care and maintenance, however, composite fillings can last for several years before needing to be replaced.

Composite fillings offer several benefits, including a natural-looking result that blends in with the surrounding teeth. They are also less invasive than traditional silver amalgam fillings, as they require less removal of healthy tooth structure. Additionally, composite fillings are bonded to the tooth, which helps to strengthen the tooth and reduce the risk of future decay or damage. Lastly, composite fillings are mercury-free, making them a safer and more environmentally-friendly option.
