Tooth-colored fillings offer a functional and natural-looking solution for treating cavities. At Illuminate Dentistry, our dentists and team provide composite dental fillings in Cincinnati, Ohio, using materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These restorations are designed to strengthen the tooth structure while maintaining a discreet appearance.
Benefits of Composite Fillings
Composite dental fillings are made from a mixture of plastic resin and finely ground glass particles. This material is durable, adaptable and matches the color of surrounding enamel. Our dentists and team apply these fillings with care to restore the affected tooth and prevent further decay.
Common benefits include:
- Tooth-colored finish that mimics natural enamel
- Strong adhesion to the tooth for added reinforcement
- Minimal removal of healthy tooth structure
- Reduced risk of future cracking or leaking
Unlike metal alternatives, composite fillings are bonded directly to the tooth surface, which improves overall strength and supports longer-lasting results. They also do not expand or contract significantly with temperature changes, lowering the risk of fractures in restored teeth.
Technology and Efficiency in Restoration
Modern advancements in dental materials and adhesive systems have improved the durability and efficiency of composite fillings. We use digital imaging to accurately identify decay and treat it with minimal invasiveness. This approach promotes healthier outcomes and preserves more of the natural tooth.
Our dentists and team use precision tools to place and shape the composite material in layers, curing each layer with a special light. This method allows for strong, aesthetic results that can typically be completed in one visit. With proper care and regular exams, composite fillings can last for many years.
