Composite resin is a filling material designed for aesthetic dental restorations. Formulated to resemble the color of your natural tooth, composite resin is often used for filling dental cavities or for dental bonding front teeth.
Composite resin consists of glass or quartz filler added to a resin medium, which produces a tooth-colored filling. The invention of composite resin offers a substitute to the amalgam dental fillings we’ve grown so accustomed to. This plastic and glass mixture contains no metal and can be shaped to resemble a real tooth. Onlookers usually can’t tell that a tooth has even been filled!

How It Works

Composite fillings can be placed by our experienced cosmetic dentist. The procedure for placing a composite resin dental filling is a bit more complicated than it is for an amalgam dental filling:

  1. The dentist isolates the tooth from saliva to keep it dry.
  2. A drill or air abrasion is used to remove the infected part of the tooth
  3. The composite resin is placed in layers over the opening. A special light is used to harden each layer of composite resin material.
  4. After the tooth is filled, the composite resin is shaped to resemble a real tooth.
