Dental Fillings Salem OR![]() How Cavities FormComposite vs. Amalgam FillingsComposite Filling-PosteriorComposite Filling-AnteriorComposite Dental FillingsComposite dental fillings are a far superior filling material to their predecessor amalgam fillings for some reasons. Amalgam fillings are large and unsightly, being an unnatural color they stand out quite a bit. For amalgam fillings to be successful, they require a large portion of the tooth to be removed, which isn’t true of composite fillings. Composite fillings require us to remove only the infected sections of the tooth to be successful. Composite fillings are long-lasting, good-looking, and quite effective.Composite dental fillings are made of a mixture, a composite, or glass, plastic, and a resin bonding agent. We mix these ingredients in our office before we apply them to your tooth. As we mix them, we take into account the color of your natural teeth, making it almost impossible for anyone to tell that you’ve had dental work done. Composite Filling Placement ProcedureThe placement procedure for composite fillings is a simple one that we have performed many times, it typically only requires one visit to our office to complete. We will numb the site using a local anesthetic to ensure that you feel no pain or discomfort. We will then use a special drill to remove the infected portion of your tooth. We will mix the composite filling compound to match the color of your tooth exactly and apply the mixture directly to your tooth. We will sculpt the compound to match the contours of your tooth and set it in place permanently using a special UV light.If your tooth is sensitive for a week or more it is important to call our office at (971) 600-0211 so we can examine the tooth and determine if additional treatment is needed. |
