Composite dental fillings are a popular choice for restoring teeth affected by decay, cracks or fractures. Our office provides high-quality composite dental fillings in Maitland, Florida, to help patients maintain a healthy and natural-looking smile. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.
The process of getting a composite filling begins with a thorough examination by Dr. David Hazan. During this visit, the extent of the decay or damage will be assessed, and the tooth will be prepared for the filling. This preparation involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and cleaning the affected area to ensure a strong bond between the filling and the natural tooth structure.
Once the tooth is prepared, the composite resin is carefully applied in layers. Each layer is hardened using a special curing light, ensuring a durable and secure restoration. Our dentist will then shape and polish the filling to match the contours of your natural tooth, providing a smooth and natural appearance.
Composite fillings offer several advantages, including their ability to bond directly to the tooth, which can help strengthen the remaining tooth structure. They are also less invasive than amalgam fillings, requiring less removal of healthy tooth material. Additionally, composite fillings are versatile and can be used to repair chips, close gaps and improve the overall appearance of your teeth.
