Composite Fillings

To fix minor imperfections, including removing minimal amounts of decay and small cracks in the teeth, dentists use fillings. At Palmetto Dental Arts, Dr. Smith uses tooth colored fillings, called composites, which are made of a space age resin reinforced with glass quartz particles in a specific shape and size that mimics a tooth’s physical properties. They look extremely natural. Many of our patients have elected to replace their old failing gray restorations with these new tooth colored, metal-free fillings.

Dr. Smith and his team use only the most advanced materials for fillings, dental crowns, and other procedures. In placement of a composite filling, we first remove the diseased or weakened part of the tooth (as well as the old metal filling if present). We then carefully sculpt the missing part of the tooth with the new composite filling then it is bonded into place. The composite fillings are strong enough to provide years of function. The composites are color customized to blend with your existing teeth. You will feel comfortable while eating and look confident with a cleaner, whiter smile.
