Lyndhurst Bonded and Tooth Colored Composite Fillings

Enhancing the Strength of Your Teeth

When a filling is required for one of our patient’s teeth, our office routinely utilizes bonded composite fillings. Composite restorations have been used Bonded Fillings/ Composite Fillingsfor over 30 years.

Composite fillings are sometimes called bonded fillings or tooth-colored fillings.

Bonding agents allow a direct adhesion of restorative materials to the tooth surface. This adhesion results in the secure placement of restorations without extensive reduction of the tooth for mechanical retention.

Composites are an excellent filling material that are used to repair teeth with cavities or to replace worn out or leaky fillings. Due to the large selection of shades available, the appropriate color shade can be blended right into your natural tooth color. Performed properly, we can create the effect that the tooth does not even have a filling.

They are also used for cosmetic purposes to brighten up your smile. Composite restorations are frequently used to correct chipped teeth, gaps between teeth, or even used as a new facing for deeply stained or “old looking” teeth.

Recently, the chemistry of bonded fillings has improved to the point that these fillings actually enhance the strength of a tooth. Composite restorations are safe and effective and can be done in one appointment.

With this type of restorative process, we are able provide for our patients stability, health, and wonderful esthetics simultaneously.
