Benefits of Composite Tooth Fillings

If a patient has tooth decay, a composite filling may be the solution. According to one National Institute of Health survey, 92% of adults between ages 20 and 64 have tooth decay. There are various benefits of composite fillings, including:

Fix Decay and More

Composite fillings primarily fix tooth decay. They can also fix cracks, chips, and tooth wear. This helps to restore a tooth’s function and health.

Subtle Aesthetics

Composite fillings are very subtle. Our dentist can color-match the filling to the surrounding teeth. Many patients prefer this natural appearance.

Strong Bonding to Teeth

It can help to strengthen and support the remaining natural tooth. This filling provides support to prevent or slow the worsening of further tooth damage.

Minimal Drilling

Relative to other filling types, especially silver amalgam, composite filling requires little drilling. These fillings can fit into small cavity spaces.

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings treat cavities to protect teeth and restore oral health. There are various types of fillings that dentists can use to fill a cavity. However, composite fillings are the most common type due to their natural appearance and good durability.

Composite fillings consist of a tooth-colored resin composed of plastic and some additives. In some cases, there are also glass particles mixed with the plastic. Although mostly used for treating cavities, a composite filling can also improve a tooth’s cosmetic appearance, such as reshaping a tooth.

Other common types of fillings include gold, porcelain, and silver amalgam. Compared to composite fillings, metal fillings are significantly more visible in the mouth. While porcelain fillings are closer to the surrounding teeth in color, they can be quite costly. For many patients, composite fillings offer a balance of aesthetics, affordability, and durability.

If you have a tooth that requires a filling, composite fillings may be a good option. Composite fillings are available at 75th Ave Dental Studio in Glendale and the surrounding area.
