    Composite-Restoration

    Silver vs. Tooth-Colored Fillings

    In the earlier days, amalgam was a preferred choice of dental restoration due to its exceptional strength and durability. However, the primary drawback of amalgam was that it had a metallic look which hindered the natural beauty of teeth. Health authorities also issued warnings about the risk of mercury toxicity, making it an unsafe option for children and pregnant women.

    These disadvantages were addressed with the advent of tooth-colored fillings. At our practice, we can restore the structure of your broken or damaged teeth with composite restorations in Houston, TX. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and add to the cosmetic appeal of your smile. Furthermore, composite fillings bond permanently to your teeth and have a lower risk of dislodgement than silver fillings.

    Let me just say that I’m not one who goes to the dentist often. But when I do this is the place that I go to. The staff are very welcoming for new and existing patients. When I went I was a little nervous at first but when I got there the staff talked with me asked how my day was, told me what they planned to do in terms I understood, that sort of thing. And when I was in the chair I was in and out in no time at all and didn’t feel any pain.

    Placing Composite Restorations in Houston, TX

    The process of composite fillings is fairly simple and usually takes a single appointment. We will first examine your teeth and perform dental X-rays to determine the extent of the damage. Composite fillings in Houston, TX, require minimal preparation, which can be carried out under local anesthesia.

    After removing the decayed part of the tooth, we will apply an acidic solution over the tooth surface. This roughens the tooth surface for better bonding. Next, we will apply an adhesive agent and harden it with a curing light. Finally, we will place the composite filling and mold it into the prepared cavity.

    Once the process is complete, we will harden the resin with the curing light. Our team will assess for bite adjustments to ensure there are no high spots that may cause difficulty later. The restoration is polished at the end to give a glossy finish.
