Composite Fillings
In Austin, TX

Composite fillings are the perfect choice for patients who value the appearance of their teeth. These fillings are versatile and can change the color, structure, or shape of a tooth. While primarily used for restoration, composite fillings also enhance the aesthetics of teeth. If you have discolored teeth, composite fillings can restore a natural color balance, giving you a beautiful smile without anyone noticing dental work. The process involves applying the filling to the tooth's surface, shaping it, and polishing it for a seamless finish. Layers of the filling are applied and hardened with a special tool, ensuring a durable and natural-looking result.

Composite resin is a versatile material made of a mixture of plastic and glass that is commonly used for filling cavities, changing the color of teeth, reshaping teeth, and reducing gaps between teeth. While composite resin may not last as long as silver fillings in large cavities, it is just as durable for smaller cavities.

One of the main advantages of composite resin is that it can be matched very closely to the natural color of your teeth, making it a superior choice for cosmetic purposes. Patients with composite resin fillings can confidently smile without worrying about visible fillings, as the material blends seamlessly with the natural tooth color.
