Composite dental fillings are an effective and aesthetically pleasing option for treating cavities and minor tooth damage. At Avant Garde Dental Arts, our team provides high-quality composite dental fillings in Wayne and River Edge, New Jersey. We focus on restoring the function, integrity and appearance of your teeth with precision and care.

What Are Composite Dental Fillings?

Composite dental fillings are made from a durable resin material designed to match the natural color of your teeth. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your smile, offering a discreet and attractive alternative for restoring decayed or damaged teeth.

Key benefits of composite dental fillings include:

  • Aesthetic appeal with a natural tooth-colored appearance.
  • Bonding capability that supports the remaining tooth structure.
  • Versatility for repairing cracks, chips and cavities.
  • Preservation of more natural tooth material during preparation.

The Composite Filling Process

Receiving a composite dental filling is a straightforward and comfortable process. Our dentist and team ensures every step is performed with precision to achieve optimal results.

  1. Examination and Preparation: We will examine your tooth and remove any decayed or damaged tissue.
  2. Application: The composite resin is applied in layers, carefully sculpted to match the shape of your tooth.
  3. Curing: A specialized light hardens each layer, creating a strong bond.
  4. Polishing: The filling is polished to ensure a smooth finish that blends naturally with your smile.

The entire procedure can typically be completed in one visit, allowing you to quickly enjoy the benefits of your restored tooth.

 

Caring for Composite Fillings

To maintain your composite dental fillings:

  • Brush and floss daily to prevent future decay.
  • Avoid biting hard objects that could damage the filling.
  • Schedule regular dental check-ups to monitor your oral health.
