Composite Fillings at Simply Dental of Stamford

At Simply Dental of Stamford, we understand that cavities and small fractures need prompt attention to prevent larger issues. While traditional metal (amalgam) fillings were effective, they often left teeth discolored and subjected to stress from the expansion of the metal. Today, we use tooth-colored composite resins that not only blend seamlessly with your natural teeth but also provide a strong, permanent solution by chemically bonding to the tooth structure.

Functional and Aesthetic Benefits

Composite fillings serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. For instance, a cavity near the gum line on a front tooth can be quite noticeable. By removing the decay and replacing it with a composite filling, we not only restore the tooth's integrity but also significantly enhance its appearance.

Advanced Material Composition

Our composite fillings are made from a sophisticated blend of liquid resin and finely ground glass particles. This mixture is carefully molded to the tooth after thorough preparation. The composite is then hardened in seconds with a specialized blue light, ensuring it melds perfectly with the natural structure of the tooth.

Finishing Touches

The final steps involve shaping and polishing the filling to achieve a high shine that matches the rest of your teeth, ensuring your restoration is both durable and discreet.

Choose Simply Dental of Stamford for composite fillings that restore function and enhance aesthetics without the drawbacks of traditional metal fillings.
