Enjoy a More Natural Smile with Composite Dental Fillings

Tooth decay is common, but with the right treatment, you can keep your smile looking natural and healthy. At West Point Family Dental, we offer high-quality composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your teeth.

These fillings are not only aesthetic but also durable and long-lasting.

Dental Fillings—The Best Solution for Tooth Restoration

We use the latest technology and techniques to ensure your fillings are virtually undetectable. Composite fillings are perfect for:

  • Tooth decay
  • Chipped teeth
  • Cracked teeth

How Do I Know If I Need a Filling?

If your teeth are sensitive or you feel discomfort, you might need a filling. Dr. Smith will assess your situation and recommend the best treatment. Fillings are ideal for severe decay, cracks, chips, and cavities.

Preventing Cavities

To avoid fillings, follow these tips:

  • Schedule regular check-ups and cleanings
  • Brush and floss daily
  • Drink water and limit sugary drinks
  • Avoid smoking

The Filling Process

Here’s how we place a composite filling:

  1. Keep the tooth dry
  2. Remove decay
  3. Apply etchant and bonding agent
  4. Add and harden composite resin
  5. Shape and polish the restoration

Fillings vs. Inlays/Onlays

Fillings restore small cavities, while inlays and onlays are used for larger damage. Inlays are placed inside the tooth, and onlays cover the top. Both are made of porcelain for a natural look.

Benefits of Composite Resin Restorations

  • Natural appearance
  • Better for small cavities
  • Preserves tooth structure
  • Contains fluoride to help prevent decay

Why Choose Composite Over Metal Fillings?

Composite fillings are safe and blend with your teeth, unlike metal fillings, which may cause concerns for some. While both are deemed safe by the American Dental Association, composite fillings are often preferred for their appearance and benefits.
