Composite Fillings

Tooth‑Colored Restorations for a Healthy, Natural Smile

Composite fillings are a modern, aesthetically pleasing solution used to restore teeth affected by decay, cracks, fractures, or wear. Unlike traditional metal (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings are made from a tooth‑colored resin that can be closely matched to your natural teeth, giving you a seamless, beautiful smile. These restorations are durable, versatile, and often completed in a single visit to Greece Family Dentistry and Implantology, making them an excellent choice for both visible and functional areas of your mouth.

How Composite Fillings Restore Your Teeth

Composite fillings repair and strengthen teeth that have been compromised by decay or damage. They restore the shape and function of the tooth while preventing further decay by sealing off vulnerable areas. The resin material bonds directly to the tooth, allowing for a conservative approach that preserves more natural tooth structure compared to traditional fillings.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Composite fillings offer multiple advantages for restoring dental health and enhancing smile aesthetics:
  • Natural Appearance: The resin is custom‑matched to your tooth color, making the filling virtually invisible.
  • Bonding Strength: Composite material bonds directly to the tooth, supporting and reinforcing its structure.
  • Versatility: Suitable for cavities, chips, cracks, and small gaps between teeth.
  • Conservative Treatment: Less removal of healthy tooth structure is needed.
  • Quick & Convenient: Most fillings are completed in a single visit.

The Treatment Process

The placement of composite fillings is typically completed in one dental appointment and is comfortable and efficient:


Preparation: The affected area is numbed, and decay or damaged tissue is gently removed.
1
Cleaning & Preparation: The cavity is cleaned and shaped to receive the composite resin.
1
Placement & Bonding: The resin is applied in layers and hardened with a special curing light, creating a strong bond.
1
Shaping & Polishing: The filling is shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth and bite.

Most patients experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods after treatment, which usually resolves quickly.
