Look great and feel great with durable fillings.

With many factors affecting our oral health, having weak teeth is inevitable. This is where composite fillings come in handy. These tooth-colored fillings blend with the natural color of your teeth. But we at Creative Dental not only guarantee you a bright smile. We also provide durable and fracture-resistance fillings that you will need to withstand the constant pressure of chewing. For patients seeking high-quality dental fillings in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, our composite solutions offer both strength and aesthetics you can rely on.

Why Composite Fillings Are a Smart Choice

Composite fillings do more than just patch a cavity. They provide long-lasting protection while preserving your tooth’s appearance and structure. Here’s why they’re preferred by both dentists and patients:

Blend seamlessly with your existing teeth
Minimize drilling, preserving more of your healthy tooth
No metal—great for those with allergies or cosmetic concerns
Bond tightly to your tooth for added durability
Used for multiple issues like chipped teeth, gaps, and worn enamel

Whether you’re fixing a cavity or replacing an old filling, composite fillings offer a discreet, modern solution that supports your oral health and your confidence.

FAQs About Composite Fillings

What do I need to know about how composite fillings work?

Composite fillings are made from a blend of plastic resin and glass particles, designed to restore and protect a tooth after decay or damage. We apply the material directly to the prepared area, shape it to fit your tooth, and harden it using a special curing light. The result is a secure, tooth-colored restoration that functions like natural enamel.

How do I know if a composite filling is right for my tooth?

Determining the right treatment depends on the size and location of the damage, your dental history, and your aesthetic preferences. We evaluate all these factors during your exam and recommend composite fillings when they offer the best functional and cosmetic outcome.

What should I expect before, during, and after getting a composite filling?

Before the procedure, we’ll examine your tooth and take digital X-rays if needed. During treatment, we remove the decay, prepare the tooth, and apply the composite in layers. Afterward, you might feel mild sensitivity, but that usually fades quickly. We’ll give you guidance on care and what to watch for as your mouth adjusts.

Are there any materials used in composite fillings that I should be aware of?

Composite materials are free of metal and mercury, which makes them a good option for patients with allergies or sensitivities. We use BPA-free materials to ensure safety and peace of mind for patients who are concerned about long-term exposure.

How long will a composite filling last with normal use?

On average, composite fillings last 7 to 10 years, though they can last longer with proper care. We help patients maintain their restorations with regular checkups and personalized oral hygiene recommendations, so they stay in good condition over time.

Is there anything I should avoid doing after receiving a composite filling?

Once the numbness wears off, you can eat and drink normally, but it’s best to avoid very hard or sticky foods in the first 24 hours. We also encourage patients to be mindful of habits like nail-biting or chewing ice, which can stress any filling material over time.

Can composite fillings be used in areas other than cavities?

Yes. In addition to repairing cavities, composite resin can also be used to fix chipped teeth, close small gaps, or reshape irregular tooth edges. We sometimes recommend it for minor cosmetic improvements when a less invasive option is preferred.
