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:
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.

😴 Can snoring affect your oral health?
In our latest Two Thirty video, Maggie answers a question many people don’t think to ask — can snoring impact your teeth and gums?
The short answer is yes, it can.
Snoring is often linked to breathing through your mouth at night, which can cause a dry mouth. Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth, so when your mouth is dry, you may be more prone to tooth decay and bad breath.
If you snore and have noticed dryness, increased decay or concerns about your breath, it’s worth mentioning at your next appointment.
Our reception team at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead will be happy to arrange a consultation if you’d like advice.


⏰ Smile hack: When you brush matters
Did you know it’s not just how long you brush — but when you brush — that makes a difference? Maggie shares an important smile hack about timing your toothbrushing properly.
Brushing straight after eating — especially after acidic foods or drinks like fruit, juice or coffee — can actually do more harm than good. Your enamel is slightly softened, and brushing immediately can cause wear.
Maggie explains the best time to brush and why waiting can help protect your teeth long term.
It’s a small change that can make a big difference to your oral health.
