When Are Composite Fillings Recommended?
Composite fillings are commonly used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. After removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, the remaining structure is restored with a tooth-colored composite material that helps strengthen the tooth while blending naturally with your smile.
Dr. Abbas Nejad may recommend a composite filling if a tooth has early to moderate decay, a small chip, or an older filling that needs to be replaced. Because the material is matched to the color of your natural teeth, composite fillings are often used on both front and back teeth to restore function without drawing attention to the restoration.
Treating decay early can often prevent the need for more extensive procedures in the future. During your examination, we’ll evaluate the condition of your tooth, explain your treatment options, and recommend the most conservative solution for protecting your long-term oral health.
