Composite Dental Fillings in Western Springs, IL
If you are looking for a natural-looking restoration to repair a cavity or tooth damage, We offer composite dental fillings in Western Springs, Illinois. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings are made of a durable, tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your natural enamel. This allows us to restore your smile’s health without compromising its appearance.
Why We Choose Composite Over Amalgam
While silver amalgam fillings were the standard for many years, our practice uses only composite materials. We have chosen this approach to provide our patients with a safer, more aesthetic, and structurally sound alternative. The benefits of composite dental fillings include:
- Seamless Aesthetics: We carefully match the resin to your natural tooth shade, making the filling virtually invisible.
- Enhanced Support: Composite material chemically bonds to the tooth structure, providing better support for the tooth’s integrity.
- Conservative Treatment: Composite requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam, allowing us to treat even very small cavities.
- Temperature Resistance: Composite resin does not expand or contract like metal, insulating your teeth from sensitivity caused by hot or cold foods.
- Metal-Free Safety: These fillings contain no mercury or other metals, making them a safer choice for your long-term health.
- Durability: Because the material seals the edges of the damaged area tightly, it provides superior resistance to leaks and future decay.
What to Expect
Receiving a composite filling is a simple process that can typically be completed in just one appointment. Our dentists will remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean the area, and then layer the resin, hardening it with a specialized light for a durable finish.
