What are Composite Tooth Fillings?
If you are embarrassed about your smile because of decayed, disfigured or discolored teeth, you may be a good candidate for composite resins. A composite resin is a silicon dioxide-filled tooth-colored material mixture that can restore teeth to an attractive, healthy state.
Benefits of White Tooth Fillings
Composite resins present several advantages to the patient compared to traditional silver fillings. First, your dentist is able to blend composite shades and shapes to match your original teeth. Second, the tooth-composite bond supports the remaining tooth structure, preventing breakage and providing insulation against temperature changes. Finally, small-to-average-sized composites have demonstrated a similar duration to silver fillings.
The Dental Filling Procedure
Resin placement is simple. Depending on the size of the filling and on the location of the composite, it may require as little as 10-20 minutes longer than what is needed for a traditional silver filling. The only caution we usually mention is that coffee, tea and other staining types of foods and beverages may discolor your composites unless you ask to have them coated with a clear plastic sealant.
