What Are Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are a contemporary dental option for treating cavities and small tooth imperfections. Crafted from a mixture of tooth-colored plastic and glass, these fillings are created to blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth, resulting in a pleasing aesthetic. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings adhere directly to the tooth, providing increased strength and longevity. Not only do they effectively restore tooth function, but they also preserve the natural look of your smile. For those looking for a discreet, long-lasting, and visually appealing dental solution, composite fillings are the preferred choice.
What types of materials are used for composite fillings?
Composite fillings in our office are made from a range of materials that are specifically chosen to match the color of your natural teeth and offer long-lasting durability and strength. The main materials used in composite fillings are:
- Acrylic Resin: This plastic component forms the bulk of the composite filling, offering flexibility and ease of application. It bonds well to the tooth structure, providing a strong foundation.
- Glass Ionomer: Made from a combination of glass and an organic acid, this material releases fluoride, which helps to protect the tooth from further decay and is particularly beneficial for children’s teeth.
- Quartz or Silica: These fine glass particles are added to the resin to enhance the filling’s strength and wear resistance, ensuring longevity and durability.
- Nano Composites: Utilizing nanotechnology, these advanced composites offer superior polishability, strength, and aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for both front and back teeth.
What advantages do composite fillings offer?
Composite fillings are a commonly chosen option for dental restorations because of their many benefits.
- Aesthetic Appeal: These fillings are tooth-colored and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and attractive appearance.
- Strong Bonding: Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, enhancing the tooth's strength and reducing the risk of further damage.
- Minimal Drilling: Less tooth structure needs to be removed compared to traditional metal fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth.
- Versatility: Suitable for both front and back teeth, composite fillings can effectively repair cavities, chips, and cracks.
- Temperature Resistance: They provide excellent insulation against temperature changes, reducing sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks.

What You Can Anticipate During the Composite Filling Procedure
Having a composite filling procedure at Fresh Dental Edmonton is a simple and comfortable process.
- Initial Examination and Anesthesia: Your dentist will first examine the affected tooth and administer a local anesthetic to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free procedure.
- Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, and the area is cleaned to eliminate any bacteria or debris.
- Tooth Preparation: An adhesive gel is applied to the cleaned cavity to create a strong foundation for the composite material.
- Applying the Composite: The composite resin is placed in layers, each layer being carefully shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth.
- Curing the Composite: A special LED light is used to harden each layer of the composite material, ensuring a durable and solid filling.
- Finishing Touches: Once the composite is fully cured, the filling is polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth, ensuring a smooth and comfortable finish.
At Fresh Dental Edmonton, we make your comfort and satisfaction our top priority during every step of the procedure. Our team ensures that each detail is executed with precision and care, leading to a restoration that is both natural-looking and durable.
