White (Composite) Fillings
What are composite
fillings?
A composite filling is a type of filling
that uses a tooth colored material to
fill the empty area of a tooth once the
decay or old filling has been removed.
Who does a composite
filling benefit?
A composite filling is a benefit to anyone
who has a cavity or old filling and does
not want the look of a metal filling.
Composite fillings allow for the affected
area to be restored with a tooth colored
material creating a strong and natural
looking tooth.
How is it done?
Once the decayed area of the tooth has
been removed the composite material is
layered into the area and hardened with
a special light. These filling are very
strong and can be chewed on immediately.
