Composite Fillings – An aesthetic solution for repairing teeth
White composite fillings, also called tooth-coloured fillings, are a seamless way to replace missing tooth structure after a cavity is removed or a tooth is chipped or fractured. The dentists at Burtch Dental use modern materials and a touch of artistry to ensure the filling blends in with your natural enamel.
What to expect when getting a composite filling
We’ll make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed. Then, your Kelowna general dentist will numb the area before removing any tooth decay. Once the space is cleaned and primed, they’ll:
- Fill the tooth with a white composite filling material that’s color-matched to your smile
- Use a special light to cure, or harden, the material
- Shape and polish the filling so it looks like natural enamel
- Check your bite and make any necessary adjustments
Benefits Of White Composite Fillings
Looks natural
White composite fillings blend in with your smile, so no one will be able to tell it’s not your natural enamel.
Strengthens the tooth
The composite material forms a strong bond with your teeth, restoring its function and protecting it from further damage.
Safe for all smiles
Tooth-colored fillings are mercury- and metal-free. The biocompatible material is safe for patients of all ages.
