At Chompers Pediatric Dentistry, we exclusively use tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite resin, to restore both front and back teeth. These fillings are ideal when cosmetic appearance is important, as the composite material is matched as closely as possible to the natural color of your teeth. Composites are not only used to repair areas of decay but are also effective in fixing fractured teeth. By carefully selecting the shade of the composite, we ensure a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result that blends naturally with your smile.
Composite resin fillings offer numerous benefits, including their ability to bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional support and durability. This bonding capability helps to preserve more of the natural tooth, as less drilling is required compared to other filling materials. Moreover, composites are versatile and can be shaped to fit perfectly within the tooth, ensuring a comfortable and functional restoration.
One of the main advantages of composite fillings is their natural appearance. Unlike amalgam (silver) fillings, which can be visually striking and unappealing, composite fillings blend in with your teeth, maintaining the natural beauty of your smile. Additionally, composite fillings are more environmentally friendly, as they do not contain mercury, which is present in amalgam fillings.
At Chompers, we are committed to using only the best materials to provide high-quality dental care. By opting for composite resin fillings, we prioritize both the health and appearance of your teeth. The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that enhances your smile and maintains your dental health.
We understand that a visit to the dentist can sometimes be daunting, especially for children. Our team at Chompers is dedicated to creating a comfortable and reassuring environment. By using advanced techniques and materials, we ensure that the filling procedure is as quick and painless as possible. Our goal is to make every visit a positive experience, helping children develop a healthy attitude towards dental care.
In addition to their aesthetic benefits, composite fillings are also known for their strength and resilience. They can withstand the pressures of daily chewing and are less likely to fracture compared to other filling materials. This makes them an excellent choice for restoring teeth in both children and adults.
Amalgam (Silver) Fillings
Chompers does not offer amalgam (silver) fillings. Our focus is on providing tooth-colored composite fillings to ensure that our patients receive the most aesthetically pleasing and advanced dental treatments available. Amalgam fillings, which are made from a mixture of metals including mercury, have been a traditional choice for many years. However, the visual and health concerns associated with amalgam have led us to choose composite fillings as a safer, more attractive option.
Our team at Chompers is dedicated to helping you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile through the use of modern dental materials and techniques. By choosing composite fillings, you can rest assured that you are receiving the best possible care for your oral health. We invite you to visit our office and experience the benefits of composite resin fillings for yourself.
