Composite Fillings
Our composite fillings are a popular choice for patients who want a natural-looking and long-lasting solution for cavities or damaged teeth.
What are Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are a popular and effective treatment for restoring damaged or decayed teeth. They are made from a mixture of plastic and glass materials, giving them a natural appearance that blends in seamlessly with your existing teeth. At Northview Dental Practice, we use only the highest quality composite materials to ensure long-lasting and durable results.
Our team of experienced dentists are skilled in the art of composite fillings and will work with you to restore your smile with precision and care.
Composite fillings have become a preferred choice over traditional amalgam (metal) fillings due to their many benefits. First and foremost, they provide a more natural-looking appearance, as the materials used can be color-matched to your teeth. This makes them virtually unnoticeable when talking or smiling, giving you the confidence to show off your restored smile.
Benefits of composite fillings
- One of the main benefits of composite fillings is their natural appearance. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, which are made from a mixture of metals and can be easily seen in the mouth, composite fillings are tooth-coloured and blend seamlessly with the natural colour of your teeth. This makes them a popular choice for filling cavities in visible areas, such as the front teeth.
- Composite fillings are also versatile and can be used to repair a variety of dental issues. They can be used to fill cavities, repair chipped or cracked teeth, and even reshape misshapen teeth. This versatility makes them a popular choice for many patients who want a single solution for multiple dental problems.
- Unlike amalgam fillings, which sit on top of the tooth, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure. This creates a stronger bond between the filling and the tooth, making it less likely to crack or fall out over time. Additionally, this bonding process helps to preserve more of the natural tooth structure, leading to better long-term oral health.
- Another benefit of composite fillings is that they do not contain mercury like traditional amalgam fillings do. While there is no conclusive evidence that amalgam fillings pose any health risks, some people may prefer to avoid them due to concerns about mercury exposure.
- Composite fillings are also known for their durability and longevity. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years without needing replacement or repairs. Additionally, composite materials have become increasingly strong and resilient over the years, making them a reliable choice for restoring damaged teeth.
