Composite white dental fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for repairing cavities and restoring decayed teeth. We provide high-quality composite white fillings that not only restore the function of your teeth but also blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, ensuring a beautiful, healthy smile.
How Composite Fillings Work
Vision Dental is committed to using the latest dental technologies and materials to achieve the best outcomes for our patients. Composite white fillings are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles, which can be precisely matched to the color of your existing teeth, making them an excellent choice for visible areas of your mouth.
The process of getting a composite filling involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth, then carefully layering the composite material in the cavity. Each layer is hardened with a specialized light before adding the next, ensuring the filling is strong and durable. Finally, Dr. Kiren George shapes and polishes the filling to match the natural contour of your tooth, enhancing both function and appearance.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite white fillings are not only attractive but also require less removal of the tooth structure compared to traditional amalgam fillings, helping to preserve more of your natural tooth. They bond directly to the tooth surface, providing additional support and preventing breakage.
If you are experiencing tooth decay or have old, worn-out fillings, contact our office at 561-790-5414. Our dentist in Wellington, Florida, are here to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile with the latest in composite white dental filling technology.
Patient Questions
Composite Filling FAQs
What is a composite filling?
A composite filling is a tooth-colored material used to repair cavities and small chips. It bonds to your tooth and blends in with your natural smile.
How long do composite fillings last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, composite fillings can last many years.
Can you replace my old silver fillings?
Yes. If your metal fillings are worn, cracked, or you prefer a more natural look, Dr. George can evaluate whether replacing them with composite is a good option.
Does getting a filling hurt?
We numb the area before treatment, so most patients feel little to no discomfort. Your tooth may be slightly sensitive for a few days.
How long does a filling appointment take?
Most fillings are completed in a single visit that takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of fillings.
