Benefits of Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles, making them a popular alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. Unlike silver amalgam, which can cause a noticeable darkening of the tooth over time, composite fillings are tooth-colored and blend seamlessly into the surrounding teeth, providing a natural-looking result. Additionally, composite fillings can be precisely matched to the shade of the affected tooth, making them a great option for patients who want to preserve the appearance of their smile.

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. Additionally, composite fillings are less prone to leakage and are less likely to break or fall out, making them a safe and reliable choice for dental restorations.

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 tissue from the affected tooth. 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 and effective option for dental restorations, and they are an excellent choice for patients who want to preserve the appearance of their smile. With composite fillings, you can enjoy the benefits of a strong and durable dental restoration while maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth.

We are committed to providing our patients with the best possible dental care, and we believe that composite fillings are an important part of achieving this goal. If you are in need of a dental filling, or if you would like to learn more about our services, we encourage you to contact us today to schedule a consultation. We look forward to helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health.

Katie did a great job cleaning my teeth. I have had an irrational fear of the dentist most of my life but since coming to Northside I have really no anxiety.

Always an excellent experience. Some dentist offices try to get you to pay for unnecessary dental work. Northside gets you in and out with no unnecessary "upsells."

Dr. Ryan Hough and his team are the definition of perfection. I have an extremely difficult time, going to the dentist and have been shamed by previous dentist when I was a kid which really turned me off from going at all. Dr. Hough is so kind and understanding. He understands that it’s hard for some people and his literal response is “that’s okay, I’m happy you’re here now” and here’s what we can do to help you. I followed him from his previous practice and he’s literally the only dentist I trust. 10/10!

Everyone is a complete pleasure to be around. They explain all that they are doing and make sure you are comfortable. I came to them with a mouth full of problems and I’m feeling much better about my teeth. It’s taken some time to get where we are at. But it took time for me to get my teeth where they were. The only thing I wish I had been better at my cleaning. They can’t fix stupid

Our family switched over to North Family Dentistry over a year ago. My whole family, husband down to our 7 year old daughter, are patients here and have had a great experience. It feels like a small town family dentistry. We have our twice a year cleaning, I take my son for extra cleanings every couple of months due to some sensory issues with brushing ( he also is a talker when he is nervous) they are fantastically patient and kind. I’ve also had professional whitening with them and the experience was made clear and I had great results. Front staff are wonderful and feel like a friendly exchange instead of a drs office. I refused fluoride a few times and now they always go out of their way to ask.
