The composite (tooth-colored) fillings are used to repair a tooth that has been decayed, cracked, fractured, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and, after that, a composite filling will be used to repair the tooth.<\/span><\/p> Each of the filling materials has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is a wide variety of filling materials on the market.\u00a0 Your dentist and you can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth.\u00a0 As far as dental fillings go, composite fillings are probably the most widely used fillings today, along with silver amalgam fillings.\u00a0 The color of composite fillings can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, making them more suitable for use in front teeth or areas of the mouth that are more visible.<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t In the same way that most dental restorations are not permanent, composite fillings may eventually have to be replaced, as with most dental restorations.\u00a0 Providing you with a long-lasting, beautiful smile, they are extremely durable and will last for many years.<\/span><\/p> Composite fillings are used for the following reasons:<\/b><\/p> \u00a0In most cases, composite fillings can be placed in one appointment.\u00a0 Your dentist will remove decay while the tooth is numb.\u00a0 Prior to the placement of the new filling, the space will be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared.\u00a0 An additional layer of protection will be applied if the decay was located near the nerve of the tooth.\u00a0 Once the composite filling has been placed, shaped, and polished, your tooth will be restored to its original shape and function once the composite filling has been placed, shaped, and polished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> In the beginning, composite fillings may cause your tooth to experience sensitivity to hot and cold. However, this will subside once your tooth acclimates to the new filling after a few weeks after placing the composite filling.<\/span><\/p> As soon as your treatment has been completed, you will be given care instructions.\u00a0 A good oral hygiene routine, healthy eating habits, and regular dental visits will extend the life of your new fillings.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Our dentists pride themselves on putting your needs first and offering FREE PARKING<\/strong> \u2014 a rarity for downtown dentists.
