Traditionally, dental fillings have been made of silver amalgam. However, at our office, we use composite, or tooth-colored, filling materials. Dr. Benjamin Zike and our team choose composite fillings to provide you with a more natural-looking result and to promote better long-term oral health. There are many benefits to composite fillings, including:
- Material that bonds to your tooth to provide more support for the tooth’s structural integrity
- Reduced risk of the treated tooth breaking or fracturing in the future
- Insulation from temperature changes caused by foods and beverages
- Better seals around the edges of the damaged area, increasing the tooth’s resistance to decay and leaks
- The ability to correct cavities that are too small for amalgam fillings to repair
- Fillings that can be repaired and replaced without being removed from the tooth
When you receive a composite dental filling, Dr. Benjamin Zike will carefully select a filling that matches your natural tooth color, giving you a more beautiful and healthier-looking smile. Fillings can usually be placed in a single appointment. We most often use composite dental fillings unless circumstances dictate the use of a more suitable material.
