• Composite Filling Procedure - Why You Need Them

Introduction

• Cavities in teeth are very common, and if they
  remain untreated, they can cause infection and
  makes your oral hygiene poor. So, a dentist
  always recommends filling to get rid of cavities,
  reducing the risk of infection. With the help of
  a composite filling procedure, a dentist fills up
  the cavities, keeping the natural appearance of
  your teeth. It is a far better option than the
  traditional filling procedure that makes the
  change in your teeth noticeably.

• For restoring your teeth from cavities, a dentist
  uses an array of materials. Among them, amalgam
  and composite are two very popular choices.
  Traditionally, amalgam has been used for teeth
  filling purposes. But, composite introduce better
  options because the material maintains the
  natural look of your teeth, and it is durable
  also.

Composite Filling

• A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to
  repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks,
  fractures, etc.  The decayed or affected portion
  of the tooth will be removed and then filled with
  a composite filling.
• There are many types of filling materials
  available, each with their own advantages and
  disadvantages.  You and your dentist can discuss
  the best options for restoring your teeth.
  Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam
  fillings, are the most widely used today. 
  Because composite fillings are tooth colored,
  they can be closely matched to the color of
  existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited
  for use in front teeth or the more visible areas
  of the teeth.

Procedure Of Composite Filling

• The complete procedure of composite filling
  follows some simple steps. The best thing is that
  it is a less invasive process. The first step is
  to separate your teeth from saliva to keep the
  position dry. Then, your doctor drills into the
  affected area of your teeth. The composite
  filling is placed in the position, and the
  material gets hardened by a special light without
  taking too much time. After that, a dentist
  corrects the shape.
• An experienced dentist can perform the task
  smoother. Consult with a dentist and learn more
  about the treatment procedure. Composite is a
  tooth-color resin material. When you want more
  natural appealing teeth after the filling
  procedure, your dentist opts for this treatment
  plan.
