One of the biggest advantages of composite fillings is their versatility. They can be used to repair a variety of dental issues, including cavities, cracks, chips, and gaps between teeth. This versatility makes composite fillings a great choice for patients who have multiple dental problems, as they can be used to address all of these issues in a single visit.
Another benefit of composite fillings is their durability. With proper care, composite fillings can last for many years, providing long-lasting protection against further decay. We use only the highest quality materials and state-of-the-art techniques to ensure that our patients receive the best possible results. Our dental professionals are highly trained and experienced in the placement of composite fillings, and we use only the latest technology to ensure that our patients receive the most precise and accurate treatment possible.
The Filling Process
The process of receiving a composite filling is simple and straightforward. First, we will remove any decayed or damaged tooth structure. Next, we will carefully shape and prepare the tooth to receive the filling, making sure that the final result will be comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, we will place the composite filling and carefully shape and polish it to ensure a natural-looking result.
Composite fillings are a safe, conservative and effective option for restoring decayed or damaged teeth. With composite fillings, you can enjoy the benefits of a strong and durable dental restoration while maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth.

FAQs
1. What type of fillings do you offer?
We use composite (tooth-colored) fillings that blend naturally with your teeth. They’re durable, safe, and effective for repairing cavities or minor damage without altering your smile’s appearance, making them a popular alternative to traditional silver fillings.
2. How long do composite fillings last?
With proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits, composite fillings typically last 7–10 years or more. Their longevity depends on the size of the filling, the tooth’s location, and your oral habits, but they’re designed for long-term durability.
3. Will getting a filling hurt?
No – we use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Most patients experience little to no discomfort. If you’re anxious, we also offer sedation options to ensure your visit is stress-free and relaxed.
4. Why are fillings important for cavities?
Fillings stop decay from spreading deeper into your tooth. Left untreated, cavities can cause pain, infection, or even tooth loss. Composite fillings restore strength, function, and appearance while protecting your overall oral health.
5. Can fillings fix more than just cavities?
Yes. Composite fillings can also repair small chips, cracks, or gaps between teeth. They’re versatile and aesthetic, making them a great option for restoring both function and appearance in a single visit.
