What Is a Composite Filling?

Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair cavities, chips, or minor tooth damage. Made from a durable resin material, they are carefully matched to the natural shade of your tooth, allowing them to blend in smoothly with your smile.

In addition to improving appearance, composite fillings help restore the tooth’s strength and function. They bond directly to the tooth structure, providing support while preserving more of your natural tooth compared to traditional metal fillings.

Why Is It Done?

Composite fillings are commonly done to:

• Treat tooth decay and cavities
• Prevent further damage or infection
• Restore the natural shape and strength of the tooth
• Improve the appearance of chipped or worn teeth
• Maintain long-term oral health

By addressing decay early with a composite filling, you can avoid more extensive dental treatments in the future.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Your composite filling appointment at Christiana Family Dental Care is typically quick and comfortable:

• The affected area is gently numbed to ensure a pain-free experience
• Decay or damaged tooth structure is carefully removed
• The composite material is applied in layers and shaped to fit your tooth
• A special light is used to harden the filling
• The filling is polished for a smooth, natural finish
  
  

Most patients can return to their normal routine the same day.

After Your Filling

After receiving a composite filling, you may notice mild, temporary sensitivity. Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Avoid eating until the numbness wears off
• Stick to soft foods for a few hours if needed
• Mild sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure is normal for a few days
• Call us if you experience severe pain, swelling, or bite issues
• Following these guidelines helps ensure proper healing and long-lasting results.
