What is dental composite?

What is dental composite?

Dental composite is a tooth-coloured material that is used to fill cavities and restore damaged teeth. It is made up of a resin matrix that is reinforced with tiny ceramic particles. Dental composite is a popular choice for fillings because it is strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.

Benefits of dental composite fillings

There are many benefits to choosing dental composite fillings, including:

  • Tooth-coloured: Dental composite fillings are tooth-coloured, so they are less noticeable than metal fillings.
  • Strong and durable: Dental composite fillings are strong and durable, so they can last for many years.
  • Aesthetically pleasing: Dental composite fillings can be matched to the colour of your teeth, so they are aesthetically pleasing.
  • Less invasive: Dental composite fillings are less invasive than metal fillings, so they can help to preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

Dental composite filling procedure

The dental composite filling procedure is relatively simple. First, your dentist will remove any decayed or damaged tissue from your tooth. Then, they will prepare the tooth for the filling by shaping it. Next, they will apply a bonding agent to the tooth, which will help the filling to adhere to the tooth structure. Finally, they will apply the dental composite filling in layers and cure it with a special light.

Aftercare for dental composite fillings

After you have had a dental composite filling placed, it is important to take good care of your teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. You should also avoid eating hard or sticky foods. If you have any questions or concerns about your dental composite filling, please talk to your dentist.

Clenching, headaches, pain when chewing… these can all be signs of TMJ problems.

In this video, Yasmin explains some of the common symptoms people experience and how treatments using neurotoxins can help relax the muscles around the jaw.

For some patients, this can reduce tension, relieve discomfort and improve day-to-day symptoms.

If you’ve been experiencing jaw pain or tension, it may be worth having a conversation about your options.

Book a consultation with our team at Evolve Face to learn more.

🪥 Smile hack: timing your tooth brushing

Did you know that brushing your teeth straight after eating isn’t always the best idea?

In this quick video, Maggie explains why it’s better to wait a little while before brushing. After eating, especially acidic foods and drinks, the enamel on your teeth can be temporarily softened. Brushing too soon can actually cause more wear.

Waiting around 30 minutes gives your saliva time to neutralise the acids and protect your teeth.

Watch Maggie’s smile hack to learn the simple change that can help keep your teeth healthier.

Did you know that chewing sugar free gum after eating can actually help protect your teeth? 🍬➡️🦷

In this video, Carol explains why dentists often recommend sugar free gum after meals. Chewing gum stimulates saliva, which helps wash away food particles and neutralise acids that can lead to tooth decay.

It’s not a replacement for brushing, but it can be a helpful extra habit when you’re out and about and can’t brush your teeth straight away.
