Restore Your Smile Naturally with Composite Fillings
At Parkway Dental Care, we understand the importance of preserving your natural teeth while ensuring your smile looks its best. Composite fillings are a modern solution for repairing cavities, chips, and small fractures in teeth. Unlike traditional metal amalgam fillings, composite resins blend seamlessly with your tooth’s natural color, providing a strong, durable restoration that looks and feels natural. Our skilled dentists use advanced techniques to deliver high-quality, comfortable dental care tailored to your needs.
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin mixed with fine glass particles. This material is carefully applied to the prepared tooth, sculpted to match its natural shape, and hardened using a special blue curing light. The chemical bond between the composite and your tooth ensures a strong, long-lasting repair. These fillings are ideal for front and back teeth, offering an aesthetic advantage without compromising function.
Traditional silver fillings can discolor your teeth and cause strain due to their metal composition. Composite fillings, on the other hand:

Our experienced dentists ensure a comfortable and precise filling procedure:
Our skilled dentists start by carefully removing any decay or damaged areas from the tooth. This step ensures that only healthy tooth structure remains, creating a clean foundation for the composite filling. The process is gentle and focused on preserving as many natural teeth as possible.
Once the tooth is cleaned and prepared, the composite resin is applied in multiple layers. Each layer is carefully shaped to restore the tooth’s natural contours and function. This layering technique provides strength and a precise fit that matches your tooth’s anatomy.
A special curing light hardens the resin quickly after the composite material is applied and shaped. This light-activated process ensures the filling bonds securely to the tooth, creating a durable and lasting restoration that withstands everyday use.
Finally, the composite filling is polished to a smooth, natural shine that blends seamlessly with your existing tooth enamel. This step enhances the aesthetics of your smile while ensuring a comfortable bite and soft surface that resists staining and plaque buildup.
