What Is Composite Dental Fillings?
Composite Dental Fillings is tooth-coloured restorations made from a blend of resin and finely ground glass particles. They are designed to repair teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, or surface wear while maintaining a natural appearance that blends with surrounding enamel.
Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth surface, offering both durability and aesthetics. They help restore chewing function, prevent further decay, and preserve more of the natural tooth structure. Due to its versatility, Composite Dental Fillings are suitable for both front and back teeth.
How It Works
Composite Dental Fillings are applied directly to the affected tooth. After removing the decayed or damaged tissue, the dentist at our affiliated clinic prepares the tooth surface and places the composite resin in thin layers. Each layer is hardened with a specialized curing light, which strengthens the bond and ensures durability.
Once layered and hardened, the dental filling is carefully shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth. The surface is then polished for a smooth, glossy finish that blends with the surrounding enamel. This bonding process creates a strong, aesthetic, and functional restoration using precision dental tools, curing lights, and polishing instruments.
