When a tooth is decayed or cracked, it is essential to repair it quickly to prevent the problem from worsening. Composite restorations are now one of the most commonly used solutions, as they provide both strength and aesthetics. This tooth-colored material blends seamlessly with your smile, unlike older silver fillings.
After local anesthesia, the damaged portion of the tooth is removed. The composite material is then applied in thin layers, each layer being hardened with a special light. We shape the final form to ensure it fits perfectly with your bite, then polish the surface to mimic the natural shine of enamel.
Composite restorations are durable and can last for many years with proper care. They can also be repaired in case of minor damage, making them a cost-effective long-term solution. To extend their lifespan, it is recommended to avoid biting hard foods and to maintain excellent oral hygiene.
