Restore Strength and Beauty to Your Teeth

Cavities and minor tooth damage can affect both your oral health and your confidence. At Emmy Dental, we use composite fillings to restore teeth while keeping your smile natural and seamless. These tooth-colored fillings blend perfectly with your enamel, providing strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal, all without the metallic look of traditional fillings.

Composite fillings are ideal for repairing small areas of decay, cracks, or chips, offering a long-lasting and minimally invasive solution that preserves more of your natural tooth structure.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are made from a mixture of fine glass and resin materials that closely mimic the natural color and texture of your teeth. Unlike older silver (amalgam) fillings, composites bond directly to the tooth, creating a strong and stable seal that supports long-term oral health.

This advanced bonding process not only restores the appearance of your tooth but also reinforces its structure. Because composite materials are versatile, they can be used on both front and back teeth, giving patients a natural-looking result regardless of where the cavity or damage occurs.

The Filling Procedure

Getting a composite filling is a quick and comfortable process that typically takes just one visit.

Preparation

Your dentist will gently remove any decay and clean the area to prepare it for the filling.

1

Application

The composite resin is carefully layered into the prepared area and hardened using a special curing light.

2

Finishing Touches

Once the material sets, it’s shaped and polished to match the rest of your tooth’s surface, ensuring a smooth and natural finish.

3

Because composite fillings bond securely to the tooth, less enamel needs to be removed, helping preserve your natural tooth structure and minimize discomfort during treatment.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Composite fillings provide both functional and cosmetic advantages, including:

A natural, tooth-colored appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Strong bonding for added support and durability.
Quick, minimally invasive treatment completed in one appointment.
Versatility for use on front or back teeth.
Mercury-free and safe for patients with metal sensitivities.

With proper care and regular dental visits, composite fillings can last for many years while protecting your teeth from further decay.

Caring for Your Composite Fillings

Caring for your fillings is easy — simply follow good daily oral hygiene habits. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily to remove plaque, and schedule routine cleanings at Emmy Dental. Avoid biting hard objects or using your teeth to open packages, as this can damage both natural enamel and restorations.

Our team will monitor your fillings at each visit to ensure they remain secure and in excellent condition. If a filling ever feels loose or sensitive, we can make quick adjustments to keep your smile healthy and comfortable.
