We use the latest
technology for our cavity fillings. This "White
filling" is technically called a Composite Resin.
You may have heard of
it as Bonding. Composites are made up of a quartz
resin and usually contain a light sensitive agent.
These light cured composites are extremely cosmetic
and most often bonded into place.
They can be used in
both the front of the mouth as well as in your back
teeth. In order to bond a filling material to your
tooth it is first necessary to remove the decay,
prepare the tooth and then to condition the enamel
and dentin.
Once conditioned, a
thin resin is applied which bonds to the etched
surface. The bond strength of these fillings is
incredible. Bonding increases the strength of these
restorations far beyond those of only a short time
ago. |
