What Makes Composite Fillings an Effective Cavity Treatment?
No one is immune to cavities. Some people are more prone to decay due to their genetic makeup, while others develop cavities due to poor oral hygiene. Either way, it’s crucial to treat decay quickly to avoid widespread damage to your teeth. When it comes to safety, strength, and esthetics, you can’t do better than composite filling dental cavity treatment. If you live in Prescott, Wisconsin, or surrounding communities, you can come to Scenic Bluffs Dental to get composite fillings in your teeth.
What Makes Composite Fillings Effective in Fighting Decay?
Many people choose composite fillings due to their safety. Composite fillings are metal- and mercury-free, so there’s no risk of metal allergies. They’re composed of biocompatible plastic resin material mixed with powdered glass, which poses no threat to your gums or teeth.
Esthetics is another plus for composite tooth-colored fillings. The resin material is white, so your filling won’t stand out when you smile. Your Prescott dentists, Drs. Jay Feuillerat and Samantha Clare can color-match the filling to the shade of your natural teeth to make it even more discreet.
When it comes to effectiveness, composite fillings offer the following benefits:
Strength and durability – Composite fillings are so strong they can last up to 10 years. They’re good for both front and back teeth, which do most of your chewing.
Tight protective seal – Composite fillings bond directly with your tooth enamel to form a tight, protective seal against bacteria and future decay.
Less drilling – There’s no requirement for extensive drilling with composite fillings, which means less of your tooth enamel will be removed. This keeps more of your natural tooth structure intact.
Less tooth sensitivity – Composite fillings insulate your teeth to minimize tooth sensitivity when you consume hot or cold foods and drinks.
