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.
