Request AppointmentComposite dental fillings are one of the many services our dentist and team offer to ensure your teeth remain healthy and beautiful. This innovative dental procedure has transformed the way we treat cavities and restore damaged teeth.
Composite dental fillings are commonly recommended when you have a cavity or tooth damage. Cavities are caused by the gradual decay of tooth enamel due to plaque and bacteria buildup. When detected early, we can remove the decayed portion and fill the cavity with composite material. This helps prevent further decay and restores the tooth’s natural appearance.
Additionally, composite fillings can be used to repair chipped, cracked or discolored teeth, providing a seamless blend with your natural teeth. If you are seeking a cosmetic enhancement, composite fillings can also reshape and rejuvenate your smile.
When you visit 1021 Dental for composite fillings, Dr. Srinivas Iragavarapu will begin by numbing the affected area to ensure a painless procedure. We will then remove the decay or damaged portion of your tooth and carefully apply the composite resin material. This material is meticulously matched to your tooth’s color, ensuring a nearly invisible restoration. After shaping and bonding the filling, our dentist will use a special light to harden it quickly. You will leave our office with a fully restored tooth and a smile that looks and feels natural.
Composite dental fillings offer several advantages over traditional metal amalgam fillings. They are mercury-free and are more aesthetically pleasing since they mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Composite fillings also require less removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving your tooth’s strength. Furthermore, they are durable and can withstand the daily wear and tear of chewing and biting. They are less likely to expand or contract with temperature changes, reducing the risk of further damage to your tooth.
Composite dental fillings are a versatile and effective solution for various dental issues, offering both cosmetic and functional benefits. If you are in need of a composite dental filling in Albany, New York, or wish to enhance your smile, contact our office today at 518-482-1021 for a consultation.
