Dental Fillings & Composites at Family Dental Practice Brighton-Le-Sands

Restore Your Smile with Composite Fillings

Composite fillings, designed from a blend of resin, are designed to restore decayed or damaged teeth. They offer a natural appearance, blending seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.

Who Should Consider Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are best suited for patients who require minor to moderate tooth restoration. They are especially favoured for their aesthetic appeal as they are matched to the natural colour of your teeth. However, for more severe decay or damage, alternative restorative solutions may be more appropriate.

Advantages of Composite Fillings

Aesthetic Match

Coloured to blend in with your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.

Versatility

Suitable for repairing front and back teeth and addressing minor cosmetic issues.

Conservative Treatment

Less removal of tooth structure compared to other fillings.

Durability

Capable of withstanding the demands of chewing, lasting for several years with proper care.

Preparing for Your Composite Filling

Your dentist will evaluate your dental health to ensure suitability for composite fillings. You might undergo X-rays to assess the extent of decay or damage.

The Composite Filling Procedure

Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia is administered to ensure comfort.

Decay Removal
Damaged tooth material is meticulously removed.

Tooth Preparation
The area is prepared for optimal filling adhesion.

Filling Application
Composite resin is applied in layers and cured with a special light.

Finishing Touches
The filling is shaped and polished to match your tooth, ensuring a natural look and feel.

Aftercare for Composite Fillings

Diet
Avoid chewy or hard foods immediately after the procedure.

Oral Hygiene
Maintain regular brushing and flossing to prevent further decay.

Dental Visits
Regular check-ups are crucial to monitor the condition of the filling.

Sensitivity Management
Use toothpaste for sensitive teeth if you experience discomfort.

Longevity of Composite Fillings

With proper care, composite fillings can last between 5 to 10 years. Regular dental check-ups will help extend their lifespan and ensure they continue to function well and look great.

Safety of Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are safe and effective, widely used for decades in dentistry. They provide a less invasive option compared to traditional fillings, with a focus on preserving more of the natural tooth structure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been attending this practice for over 20 years with my family of 6. I have always found Dr Fiona and her staff to be very professional and caring. The cleanliness of this practice is pristine and you cannot fault them on their attention to detail. This is a very family orientated dental practice and all my children have grown up with Dr Fiona and her team and continue to attend. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently visited Dr. Fiona's practice for a dental check-up and cleaning as my usual practice had no open spots. I was impressed by the professionalism and cleanliness of the practice. Dr. Fiona, along with her team including Lisa the practice manager and Nicoly the dental assistant, were exceptionally warm and helpful.

I wouldn't usually describe a dentist visit as "enjoyable," but they made it just that by alleviating any anxiety and ensuring the process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend!
