Composite Dental Fillings in Maitland, FL
Composite fillings are a popular choice for restoring teeth affected by decay, cracks or fractures. At Maitland Square Dentistry, we provide high-quality composite fillings in Maitland, Florida, to help you maintain a healthy, natural-looking smile.
Tooth-colored fillings
Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.
The Process of Getting a Composite Filling
The process begins with a thorough examination by Dr. David Hazan to assess the extent of the decay or damage. To prepare the tooth, the decayed portion is removed and the affected area is cleaned to create a strong bond with your natural tooth.
Once the tooth is prepared, the composite resin is applied in layers, and each layer is hardened with a special curing light for a durable, secure restoration. The filling is then shaped and polished to match the natural contours of your tooth for a smooth, natural appearance.
Benefits of Composite Fillings
Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, which can help strengthen the remaining tooth structure. They are less invasive than amalgam fillings because they require less removal of healthy tooth material. Composite fillings are also versatile and can be used to repair chips, close gaps and improve the overall appearance of your teeth.
