Restorations
Composite Fillings
A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or
affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling.
There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist
can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most
widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth,
and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.
As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very
durable, and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.
Reasons for composite fillings:
Chipped teeth.
Closing space between two teeth.
Cracked or broken teeth.
Decayed teeth.
Worn teeth.
How are composite fillings placed?
precisely placed, shaped, and polished, restoring your tooth to its original shape and function.

It is normal to experience sensitivity to hot and cold when composite fillings are first placed, however this will subside shortly
after your tooth acclimates to the new filling.
You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and
regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.
