For many years, the standard solution for tooth decay was amalgam fillings, which are made of a mixture of metals including mercury, silver, tin, and copper. While effective, amalgam fillings are not without drawbacks. They are highly visible and can leave teeth looking gray or black, and they can also weaken the tooth structure over time.
Composite fillings, on the other hand, are made of a tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with the natural tooth. This makes them a more aesthetically pleasing option for patients who are concerned about the appearance of their teeth. In addition, composite fillings are designed to bond directly to the tooth, providing additional support and helping to prevent future decay.
At Emmy Dental, our team of experienced dentists and dental hygienists are trained in the latest composite filling techniques. They are able to provide patients with a comfortable, stress-free experience, and the results are long-lasting and durable.
The composite filling process is simple and typically takes only one visit to our Nashville office. First, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed and the remaining tooth structure is thoroughly cleaned. Then, the composite resin is carefully applied to the tooth in layers and hardened with a special light. Finally, the filling is shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth.
Emmy Dental is proud to offer this cutting-edge solution for tooth decay to our patients in Cypress and the surrounding areas. We believe that composite filling are an important advancement in dental technology, and we are committed to providing the highest level of care to our patients.
