Composite Fillings with Dr. Lopez

If you are embarrassed by your silver amalgam fillings because they are too obvious, there is a wonderful solution! At New Smile Dental, Dr. Gilbert Lopez offers his patients composite fillings, a wonderful alternative to achieve a natural, seamless look to your dental work.

Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are made of a material that matches the color of your teeth. They are used to repair decayed and fractured teeth, and are very durable, so you don’t have to worry about damaging them. If you get composite fillings, you may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold foods, which is very normal, and should subside over time. Composite fillings can last for several years, and after your appointment, we will be able to give you instructions on how to care for them.

The good thing about composite fillings is the fact they usually take a single session to apply. Dr. Lopez will numb your gums, and then remove whatever decay your teeth may have. After cleaning the area, Dr. Lopez will place the composite filling on your tooth, and shape it to look like your natural teeth. Simple yet very effective, there are many benefits to composite fillings that you really should experience for yourself! Make an appointment at our office, and we will be more than willing to assist you!
