Composite Fillings in Kissimmee, FL

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.

Am I a Candidate for Composite Fillings?

  • Composite fillings are a great option for repairing cavities, chips, or small cracks in teeth.
  • Their tooth-colored material blends seamlessly with your natural smile, making them ideal for visible areas like front teeth.
  • They are durable and strong, providing long-lasting restoration.
  • Composite fillings preserve more of your natural tooth compared to traditional metal fillings.
  • The material bonds directly to the tooth, helping prevent further decay and reinforcing tooth structure.
  • Suitable for small to moderate dental damage, offering a natural-looking, lasting solution.
  • At Parkway Dental Care, our dentists will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment during your consultation.

What Are Composite Fillings?

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.

Why Choose Composite Over Traditional Amalgam Fillings?

Traditional silver fillings can discolor your teeth and cause strain due to their metal composition. Composite fillings, on the other hand:

  • Are tooth-colored, blending naturally with your smile
  • Bond chemically to your tooth for enhanced strength
  • Require less removal of healthy tooth structure
  • Resist staining better than amalgam fillings
  • Provide both cosmetic and functional benefits

When Are Composite Fillings Recommended?

Composite fillings can be used to treat:

  • Cavities caused by tooth decay
  • Small fractures or chips in teeth
  • Teeth with visible cavities near the gum line
  • Replacing old, unsightly metal fillings
  • Improving the appearance of minor cosmetic imperfections

The Composite Filling Procedure at Parkway Dental Care

Our experienced dentists ensure a comfortable and precise filling procedure:

Decay Removal and Tooth Preparation

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.

Composite Application and Shaping

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.

Curing and Hardening

 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.

Polishing and Final Touches

 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.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Composite fillings offer several advantages:

  • Natural Appearance: Matches your tooth color for a discreet restoration.
  • Durability: Strong enough to withstand normal chewing forces.
  • Tooth Preservation: Requires minimal removal of healthy tooth structure.
  • Versatility: Can repair teeth in both the front and back of your mouth.
  • Bonding Strength: Chemically bonds to your tooth, reducing the risk of leaks or fractures.
