  • Composite Filling Procedure - Why You Need Them

Introduction
  • Cavities in teeth are very common, and if they
    remain untreated, they can cause infection and
    makes your oral hygiene poor. So, a dentist
    always recommends filling to get rid of cavities,
    reducing the risk of infection. With the help of
    a composite filling procedure, a dentist fills up
    the cavities, keeping the natural appearance of
    your teeth. It is a far better option than the
    traditional filling procedure that makes the
    change in your teeth noticeably.

  • For restoring your teeth from cavities, a dentist
    uses an array of materials. Among them, amalgam
    and composite are two very popular choices.
    Traditionally, amalgam has been used for teeth
    filling purposes. But, composite introduce better
    options because the material maintains the
    natural look of your teeth, and it is durable
    also.

Composite Filling
  • A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to
    repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks,
    fractures, etc.  The decayed or affected portion
    of the tooth will be removed and then filled with
    a composite filling.
  • There are many types of filling materials
    available, each with their own advantages and
    disadvantages.  You and your dentist can discuss
    the best options for restoring your teeth.
    Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam
    fillings, are the most widely used today. 
    Because composite fillings are tooth colored,
    they can be closely matched to the color of
    existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited
    for use in front teeth or the more visible areas
    of the teeth.

Reasons for composite fillings
  • Chipped teeth.
  • Closing space between two teeth.
  • Cracked or broken teeth.
  • Decayed teeth.
  • Worn teeth.

Benefits Of Composite Filling
  • It is a durable option
  • More natural-looking appeal
  • Can be fixed in one visit only
  • Perfect for minor flaws as well as the big
    damages to teeth

Procedure Of Composite Filling
  • The complete procedure of composite filling
    follows some simple steps. The best thing is that
    it is a less invasive process. The first step is
    to separate your teeth from saliva to keep the
    position dry. Then, your doctor drills into the
    affected area of your teeth. The composite
    filling is placed in the position, and the
    material gets hardened by a special light without
    taking too much time. After that, a dentist
    corrects the shape.
  • An experienced dentist can perform the task
    smoother. Consult with a dentist and learn more
    about the treatment procedure. Composite is a
    tooth-color resin material. When you want more
    natural appealing teeth after the filling
    procedure, your dentist opts for this treatment
    plan.
