Fixing Teeth with Dental Fillings

Composite dental fillings are commonly recommended to treat cavities or repair tooth damage. Cavities result from the gradual decay of tooth enamel caused by plaque and bacteria buildup. When detected early, we remove the decayed portion and fill the cavity with composite material, which helps prevent further decay while restoring the tooth’s natural appearance.

Composite fillings are also ideal for repairing chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, blending seamlessly with your natural smile. Additionally, they can be used cosmetically to reshape and rejuvenate your teeth.

Experience a Seamless Tooth Restoration

At 1021 Dental, Dr. Srinivas Iragavarapu ensures your comfort by numbing the affected area before beginning treatment. We carefully remove the decayed or damaged portion of your tooth, then apply a tooth-colored composite resin that is precisely matched to your natural tooth shade. After shaping and bonding the filling, a special curing light hardens the material quickly. You’ll leave our office with a fully restored tooth that looks and feels completely natural.

The Advantages of Dental Fillings

Composite dental fillings offer many benefits over traditional metal amalgam fillings. They are mercury-free and provide superior aesthetics by mimicking the natural appearance of teeth. These fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving the tooth’s strength. Composite materials are durable, able to withstand daily chewing and biting forces, and are less prone to expanding or contracting with temperature changes—reducing the risk of further tooth damage.

Composite fillings provide a versatile and effective solution for both cosmetic and functional dental needs. If you need a composite dental filling in Albany, New York, or want to enhance your smile, call (518) 482-1021 to schedule a consultation at 1021 Dental today.
