Composite Fillings From Your Dentists in Everett

It used to be that when patients required a filling, amalgam was the main tooth-protecting material available. Thankfully, the advent of composite resin filings has made it possible for dentists to not only repair decay with materials that match the natural shades of teeth, but to provide a variety of additional smile benefits, as well! If you're considering white fillings in Everett, MA, our practice offers this modern solution to restore both the function and appearance of your teeth seamlessly.

How can composite fillings benefit my teeth?

Made with plastic and ceramic materials, composite resin bonds to a natural tooth, effectively strengthening it once in place. This material also requires that less of a tooth be drilled during its placement, and it also minimizes tooth sensitivity to fluctuating food and drink temperatures.

Are white fillings right for everyone and what teeth are they best for?

White fillings are a great way for patients to update their smile and minimize feelings of self-consciousness when speaking, smiling or laughing out loud. They’ve historically been used in the more visible areas of a patient’s smile, but research shows they’re durable enough to be utilized in the molar region, as well. That said, because each patient’s oral health needs are individual, it’s important to discuss your unique situation with your dentist, who will advise you on the material(s) that will best meet your smile needs.
