Composite Restoration Treatment Process

If one or multiple teeth show decay you may require composite fillings (white filling). Your dentist will clean the site of debris, plaque and superficial stains. Then, our team will determine the ideal shade to match your existing teeth. Afterwards, your dentist will remove the calculus or old restoration.

In the next step, your dentist will bond the composite material to the remaining healthy tissue of your tooth. He will then shape and polish the composite restoration to ensure it looks natural and feels comfortable for you.

Composite restorations act like your natural teeth. This means, they can also fracture, chip, and break like your normal teeth. This type of restoration can last for a prolonged period of time depending on a variety of factors such as your diet and your oral health habits. All foods and drinks that can stain your natural teeth can also stain your restorations.

However, you can expand the longevity of your composite resin restorations by following a good oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing twice daily and flossing or using interdental brushes at least once a day.

In addition, it is important that you attend your regular dental check-ups. These will help to keep your restorations in good shape. Your dentist may also be able to re-polish your composite veneers to expand their lifespan.
