Eliminate Cavity Pain with Composite Fillings

If you’re feeling pain or discomfort in one or more teeth, it could be due to cavities. Cavities should be treated quickly to avoid the spread of decay to healthy teeth. At Bella Hanono Family Dentistry, Alpharetta, Georgia, we treat cavities with composite dental fillings. Our composite filling treatment will ease your pain and protect your teeth from further decay. Through prompt cavity treatment, Dr. Bella Hanono can nip decay in the bud before it has a chance to cause extensive damage to your teeth or escalate into a more serious dental issue.

Composite Vs. Amalgam Fillings

If you suffer from metal allergies, composite fillings are the best option. Amalgam fillings are a mixture of silver, tin, nickel, mercury, and other materials that can pose a health risk to those with metal allergies. Many people are also concerned about the mercury content in amalgam fillings, as mercury is a toxic substance.

In contrast, composite metal-free fillings are composed of acrylic resins, a safe, plastic material that won’t harm you or your teeth. Composite fillings also come with the following advantages:

• Durability for long-lasting use
• Easy bonding with your natural teeth, making it easier to treat areas where it’s difficult to put silver fillings
• Less invasive treatment as composite fillings don’t require intensive drilling before applying to your teeth. This preserves more of your natural teeth
• White coloring that blends in nicely with your natural teeth to preserve your smile’s esthetic appeal
• Versatility as the resin material can treat minor cracks and chips on your teeth and cavities

Dental Cavity Filling Cost

The cost of composite dental fillings will depend on the number of cavities you have and the work required to restore your oral health. Fortunately, composite fillings are considered an affordable treatment well within most people’s financial reach. It’s also covered by most dental insurance.
