Have you been searching for a natural-looking way to fill in unsightly gaps? Composite fillings will fill in any existing holes without being noticed, unlike a traditional metal filling.
At Care Dental Center, we know how important it is to have a smile that is both attractive and healthy. Our innovative composite fillings give your teeth long-lasting strength while also blending in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
A composite dental filling is a mixture composed of high-quality quartz and plastic, that is used to fill in holes or gaps present on your teeth. Our fillings are all expertly matched to the color of your natural teeth, so no one will be able to tell. Composite fillings are a fantastic alternative to metal fillings and will restore strength and beauty to your teeth with no down time!
The composite filling process starts with a consultation, where we take any necessary x-rays, and you will have an expert examination by our dentist, Dr. Omid Barkhordar. He will discuss your restoration options with you and will design a personalized treatment plan in order to ensure that your composite fillings are comfortable and fit well with the look of your smile.
The procedure will first involve the removal of existing debris, bacteria, and decay. Dr. Barkhordar will then skillfully fill in the holes that the tooth decay created using our advanced dental adhesive and composite substance. The application of our modern compound bonding material will stabilize the filling and seal the tooth for long-lasting results.
On average, composite fillings last between 5 and 7 years. They have been known to last as long as 10 years, but their lifespan is dependent on factors including:
