Understanding Composite Resin Fillings
Composite resin fillings are an essential part of modern dentistry, offering a versatile solution for treating dental cavities. Unlike traditional metal fillings, which are noticeable and may pose risks of expansion or contraction with temperature changes, composite fillings are composed of a blend of tooth-colored plastic and glass. This unique composition allows them to mimic the natural appearance of your teeth while providing durable and effective restoration.
Core Values
Every treatment at Dentistry at Golden Ridge is guided by our core values of Excellence in professional service, continued Growth in expertise, a commitment to our patients’ overall Wellness, and a Balance between modern innovations and traditional patient-centered care.
Placing Composite Resin Fillings
The process of placing composite resin fillings is straightforward and typically completed in just one visit. First, the affected area of the tooth is numbed using a local anesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience. Next, the decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, leaving behind a clean and healthy surface. Your dentist then applies the composite resin material in layers, shaping and sculpting it to match your tooth’s natural shape. A special curing light is used to harden each layer, bonding it securely to the tooth structure. Once the filling is in place, final adjustments are made to ensure proper bite alignment and comfort.
