Composite Dental Fillings
Newport Beach dentist, Dr. Laura Wittenauer uses composite resin dental fillings as the standard for her patients. Sometimes called “white fillings”, these are tooth colored fillings made from a durable material called composite resin.
These dental fillings are an excellent alternative to silver amalgam (metal) fillings. They offer equal durability and longevity with superior aesthetic benefits.
Benefits of Composite Resin Dental Fillings:
- Natural Looking Results - With a wide range of tooth colored shades, composite tooth fillings are virtually invisible.
- Strong and Durable - Dental composites are made of strong and durable synthetic resin.
- Protection - Dental fillings protect your teeth from further decay by sealing cracks and cavities.
- Safety and Comfort - Many people have metal sensitivities and report having a metallic taste from traditional amalgam fillings. And while there has been no conclusive evidence, there is concern among some of mercury toxicity.
Dental Filling Process
Dr. Laura will carefully prepare the tooth and then apply the tooth-colored composite resin directly to the tooth. This requires great skill, since the procedure is done by hand and without the aid of molds. A trained cosmetic dentist, Dr. Laura has the expertise to give you the most natural looking results.
Composite resin dental fillings are a minimally invasive procedure and are usually completed in a single visit.
