Composite Fillings

At Circ Dental, we aim to do all our fillings in the highest-quality composite resin.

We do not place amalgam fillings, which often look dark and can result in cracks. All our fillings are tooth coloured and blend into your natural tooth. We can even replace your dark amalgam fillings with new composite ones for cosmetic purposes.

As a preventive-minded dental practice, we take great pride in creating durable and aesthetically sound composite fillings. Composite filling restores your tooth and protects its future well-being.

Treatment Overview

Lasts for: 3-10 years.
Type of treatment: Restorative.

What is a composite filling?

Mild to moderate dental decay and damage can be resolved with a composite filling, which fills the cavity. The decay that has entered the tooth is thoroughly cleaned out before the filling is placed. Our composite fillings will be matched to the shade of your tooth, so your restoration will look discreet when you chew, laugh and smile.

How do I know if I need a composite filling?

During your routine dental examinations, your dentist here at Circ Dental will look for the smallest signs of decay, which may indicate a filling is needed to prevent this from escalating further.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should make an appointment with us right away, as it could mean decay is beginning to compromise the health of your tooth:

• Sensitivity.
• Pain when chewing or biting down.
• A bad taste in your mouth.
• Your tooth looks darker in shade.

Contact us if you are in any doubt that you may need restorative treatment such as a filling. In many cases, early intervention can reduce the likelihood that more extensive treatment will need to be carried out.
