Dental composite restorations use synthetic resins to make the damaged tooth whole again, while reinforcing its structure. Required when the damage is not severe enough as to need a crown, the composite is bonded to the tooth in different situations:
Many patients see their composite fillings lasting for about ten years. But if you take really great care of your fillings, they may be able to last you longer than that — and even a lifetime! In order to help your composite fillings last longer, you should always see your dentist twice a year for regular dental cleanings and exams, brush your teeth twice a day, floss every day, and eat a variety of healthy food to boost your oral health.
Following preparation, the composite is placed in layers, using a light specialised to harden each layer. When the process is finished, the composite is shaped to fit the tooth. It is then polished the composite to prevent staining and early wear.
We’re welcoming new patients. All of us and “Floss” can’t wait to meet you.
