Composite Fillings, For Long-Lasting Cavity Protection

Dental decay can destroy your smile and derail your oral health. Composite fillings can put a stop to decay and preserve your smile’s natural beauty. We use white cavity fillings at Bella Hanono Family Dentistry, Alpharetta, Georgia, to treat decayed teeth inconspicuously. A tooth-colored restoration is much harder to see than a metal filling and works just as well in treating cavities. Dr. Bella Hanono can restore your tooth’s functionality and preserve its appearance with a composite cavity filling.

About Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are composed of resin combined with powdered glass fillers. This same material is used in cosmetic bonding treatments to improve your smile’s appearance. Unlike their silver amalgam counterpart, composite tooth-colored fillings are mercury and metal-free, eliminating your risk of metal allergies.  

Composite fillings are often chosen for their tooth-colored appearance that blends in with your smile to preserve its esthetic appeal. But they have much more to offer in strength, endurance, and protection. 

Here are some of the attributes of composite white cavity fillings:  

• With composite fillings, less enamel has to be removed for treatment. This means less drilling, which keeps more of your tooth structure intact for strength and stability
• Composite fillings bond directly onto your tooth to form a tight protective seal against future decay
• Composite mercury-free fillings can reduce tooth sensitivity as they don’t expand and contract like silver fillings when exposed to temperature changes in your mouth
• Once your cavity is treated, you can enjoy a varied diet as composite fillings restore pain-free chewing. To extend the lifespan of your filling, however, we recommend eating a nutritious diet with limitations on sugary and acidic foods and drinks
• Composite tooth-colored fillings can last 10+ years with proper care. Good oral hygiene combined with routine dental cleanings can preserve the health of your filling long-term
