Composite fillings are also known as white, plastic or tooth-coloured fillings and are used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling.
Composite fillings are used for front teeth which are displayed immediately. Our dentists at P3 Dental, Philadelphia will discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth coloured, they can be closely matched to the colour of existing teeth, and can easily blend in with the surrounding tooth structure. Composite fillings are also a good choice with patients who have a known metal allergy. As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.
There are no special guidelines to be followed post this procedure as the filling is hardened during the procedure itself, thereby effectively sealing it. Call 215-676-0222 today to schedule your consult.
