Why Modern Composite Matters
For decades, silver amalgam was the standard for filling cavities. While functional, amalgam expands and contracts with temperature changes, potentially leading to micro‑fractures at the tooth margin. Composite resin bonds chemically to enamel, reinforcing the remaining structure rather than wedging it apart.
Aesthetics are equally important. Our nano‑hybrid composites contain glass and ceramic particles that mimic the way natural enamel reflects light. Once polished, it’s nearly impossible to distinguish a filled area from untouched tooth surface, even in well‑lit selfies or close‑up conversations.

Early Detection Leads to Smaller Fillings
Cavities don’t announce themselves until they’re large enough to cause sensitivity or pain. Digital X‑rays, laser fluorescence, and optical trans‑illumination let us spot demineralization when it’s still in the outer enamel layer. Catching decay early means we can often reverse it with fluoride treatment or repair it with very conservative, nearly invisible fillings and preserve more natural tooth.
During your routine exam, we also evaluate lifestyle and dietary factors that contribute to decay risk. Simple changes, like switching from sugary energy drinks to water and improving your oral hygiene techniques, can halt progression and reduce the number of future restorations.

What to Expect During a Filling Appointment
- Local Anesthesia – The area is thoroughly numbed so you remain comfortable throughout.
- Decay Removal – We gently remove softened enamel and disinfect the cavity, preserving as much healthy structure as possible.
- Cleaning & Bonding – A mild cleanser prepares the tooth surface to accept a bonding agent that forms a secure anchor for the composite.
- Layered Resin Placement – Composite is applied in small increments and cured with a blue light to create a hard and durable filling.
- Finishing & Polishing – We shape the resin to match natural contours and polish it to a mirror finish so your bite feels normal immediately.
Most fillings take less than 45 minutes per tooth (remove per tooth), and you can eat as soon as the numbness fades.
Caring for Filled Teeth & Preventing Future Decay
Composite fillings are proven to give years of service, but longevity depends on diet, hygiene, and bite forces. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss every night, and consider a water flosser if tight contacts make flossing difficult.
Limiting snacks between meals minimizes acid attacks on enamel, while sipping water neutralizes pH levels. Chewing sugar‑free xylitol gum can also reduce cavity‑causing bacteria.
If you notice roughness at the edge of a filling or experience new sensitivity, schedule a quick visit. Polishing or minor touch‑ups can extend the life of your restoration and prevent cracks from spreading.

FAQ
How long do composite fillings last?
Most last seven to ten years, and sometimes longer with ideal home care and routine exams.
Is getting a filling painful?
Local anesthesia prevents discomfort; afterward, you may feel mild pressure but no sharp pain.
Can I replace my old silver fillings with composite?
Yes. We can safely remove amalgam fillings and restore teeth with bonded resin for a durable and esthetic result.
How much do composite fillings cost?
The cost of composite fillings depends on their size and complexity. However, strong composite fillings protect teeth from further damage and prevent more costly treatment in the future.
