Composite Dental Fillings, For Long-Lasting Cavity Treatment

  • Dr. Natalie Provenzano
  • Dental Fillings
Dentist for Cavity Filling in San Jose Area

Despite advances in preventive dental care, cavities remain a common dental issue for both adults and children. Caught early, cavities can be treated fairly easily with dental fillings. Ideally, it’s best to avoid problems with decay by observing good oral care habits and scheduling routine dental cleanings with your dentist. If you do get a cavity, you can turn to Natalie K. Provenzano DDS, Inc. in San Jose, for a composite tooth cavity filling. Composite fillings offer a durable, long-lasting solution to treating cavities.

Advantages of Composite Fillings 

Most people are familiar with silver amalgam fillings as they were used extensively in the past to treat cavities. Dr. Natalie Provenzano, your dentist for cavity filling in San Jose, prefers using composite resin fillings for cavity treatment. Unlike silver fillings containing metal and mercury, composite fillings are a mix of biocompatible acrylic resin material with powdered glass, making them a safer choice for cavity treatment. 

Additional advantages of composite resin over silver fillings are:   

  • Appearance – Composite resin fillings are esthetically pleasing due to their tooth-colored appearance. Dr. Provenzano can make your filling the same color as your teeth so that it’s hardly noticeable when you smile
  • Strength and Flexibility – Composite resin material is flexible and easy to work with. It conforms easily to the shape of your tooth and dries quickly to form a tight bond that strengthens your tooth while protecting it from future decay
  • Less invasive treatment – Composite fillings don’t require much drilling to apply. This keeps more of your tooth structure intact for support and stability
  • Reduces tooth sensitivity – Composite fillings don’t contract or expand with temperature changes in your mouth like silver fillings. This makes your teeth less sensitive to hot or cold foods and drinks

Longevity of Composite Fillings 

With good oral hygiene and care, composite fillings can last up to 10 years before needing to be replaced. A healthy diet and lifestyle can help extend the lifespan of your filling and improve your oral health.
