When teeth are damaged by an injury or decay, fillings are the quickest and most effective options to replace lost tooth material. Gone are the days when a filling meant changing your tooth color from white to silver. Composite fillings can be color-matched to your teeth, blending in with your natural smile color. Our cosmetic dentists at Smile Structure Dentistry & Braces offer white, composite fillings and bonding at our dental clinics in San Antonio.
Composite resin is a versatile dental material that can be used for fillings and bonding. Whether you need a cavity filled or want to change the shape of a tooth, composite resin offers a fast, painless solution. Composite fillings come in shades of white to match your natural tooth color. Instead of gray, silver or gold metal fillings that change the color of your smile, you can repair teeth with composite fillings to keep your smile white.
Composite resin is soft and pliable. It can be shaped to fill a cavity or formed to change the shape of your tooth. Once in place, a special light is used to cure and harden the resin in place. We use white resin to repair a chipped tooth, cover a discoloration, fill a cavity or change the shape of a tooth. Once the composite resin is cured, we polish it to a smooth finish for a natural, beautiful appearance.
Composite fillings and bonding can be performed in an office visit, and the results can last for many years. If you want to improve the appearance of your smile or repair a tooth, we offer white fillings and bonding at Smile Structure Dentistry & Braces.
