Composite fillings are restorative solutions composed of both adhesive and restorative materials that are used to fill cavities caused by decay or structural damage. These materials are uniquely formulated to match the natural color of your teeth, allowing for a reconstruction that is virtually indistinguishable from the original tooth. For patients seeking a more radiant smile overall, teeth whitening can be a complementary treatment alongside composite fillings. Ideal for cases that require mild to moderate restoration, composite fillings maintain the tooth’s function while also preserving the health of the surrounding gum tissue.
The restorative process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the affected tooth by a specialist. The dentist first removes any decay and meticulously cleans the cavity to ensure that the tooth is properly prepared. Once the area is ready, the composite material is applied in layers using advanced techniques that guarantee even distribution and a seamless blend with the existing tooth structure. For patients looking to enhance their overall smile aesthetics, treatments like veneers may also be recommended in conjunction with restorative procedures. A special curing light is then employed to harden the material quickly, reducing the overall treatment time and ensuring immediate, satisfying results.

Patients are advised to avoid particularly hard foods for a short period and to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to protect the new filling.
