Composite Dental Fillings Garden Grove, CA

Tooth decay is a common dental issue that can weaken the structure of your teeth and lead to more serious oral health problems if left untreated. At Coast Dental Group, Dr. Clara Nguyen offers composite dental fillings in Garden Grove, California, as an effective and aesthetically pleasing way to restore decayed or damaged teeth. Composite fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, providing both strength and beauty.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin material that is bonded directly to the affected area of the tooth. This type of filling offers a natural look compared to traditional metal fillings, which are more visible. Composite fillings are not only used to repair cavities but can also be used to fix chipped or cracked teeth.

Why Choose Composite Fillings?

There are several reasons why patients may choose composite fillings over other types of dental restorations:

• Aesthetic Appeal: Composite fillings blend with your natural tooth color, making them nearly invisible.
• Durability: Composite fillings provide strong protection for teeth, especially in areas that withstand moderate chewing pressure.
• Bonding Strength: The resin material bonds directly to the tooth, providing extra support to the remaining tooth structure.
• Less Invasive: Composite fillings require less removal of the natural tooth structure compared to metal fillings.

The Composite Filling Process

When you visit us for a composite filling, our dentist and team will begin by removing the decayed portion of your tooth. The area will then be cleaned and prepared for the filling material. The composite resin is applied in layers and hardened using a special light. We will carefully shape the filling to match the contours of your tooth, ensuring a smooth and natural appearance. Finally, the filling will be polished to blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

• Natural-looking results for a seamless smile.
• Safe and mercury-free materials for improved health.
• Long-lasting protection against further tooth decay.
