Composite Fillings

• Aesthetically invisible, matching your natural tooth shade perfectly.

• Bonds directly to the tooth structure, adding strength and support.

• Contains no mercury or metals, making it a safe, modern choice.

Anyone needing a cavity filled, or anyone looking to replace old, dark, or failing silver amalgam fillings.

We gently remove the decay, clean the area, and layer the composite material. Each layer is hardened with a curing light and polished for a smooth, natural feel.

Why Choose Advanced Dental Care for Composite Fillings?

Gone are the days of noticeable, dark silver amalgam fillings. At Advanced Dental Care, we exclusively use tooth-colored composite resin to restore your teeth, ensuring your smile stays beautiful while being structurally reinforced.

Composite bonding actually adheres directly to your natural tooth structure, which means we can preserve more of your healthy tooth compared to traditional materials. Our Toledo team meticulously color-matches every filling so that it is virtually invisible, giving you a flawless, mercury-free restoration.

What to Expect During the Composite Filling Process

1. Numbing & Tooth Preparation
‍We apply a gentle local anesthetic to completely numb the area, then carefully remove only the decayed or damaged portions of the tooth.

2. Cleaning & Etching
‍The tooth is thoroughly cleaned and prepared with a special conditioning gel to ensure the composite resin bonds securely to your natural enamel.

3. Resin Application & Sculpting
‍We apply the tooth-colored composite in layers, carefully sculpting it to restore the tooth’s natural anatomy, chewing surface, and contours.

4. Curing & Shaping
‍Each layer of resin is hardened instantly using a specialized curing light. We then check your bite to ensure it feels perfectly natural.

5. Final Polishing
‍We polish the new filling to a smooth, high-gloss finish that perfectly blends in with your natural tooth, preventing stains and ensuring comfort.
