Fillings
Natural Looking Repair
Cavities and small fractures can cause much larger issues if left untreated. Tooth-colored composite resin fillings blend into the tooth structure and are chemically bonded to the tooth providing a strong restoration. Composites serve both functional and aesthetic roles, often at the same time. For example, a cavity invading the front of a tooth along the gum line may be visible in your smile line. By gently cleaning out the soft, discolored area and replacing it with a tooth-colored filling, the tooth is restored and looks better.
Composites contain a mix of liquid resin embedded with finely ground glass particles. After being molded to the prepared tooth structure, a blue light applied directly to the composite hardens the filling material within seconds. Dr. Steven Christensen
will conclude the procedure by shaping and polishing the tooth. 4 Dental Health
