What is the best way to treat cavities? Consider opting for biocompatible metal-free composite fillings

Through preventive dental care, you minimize your risk of getting cavities. If cavities do develop, however, you can nip them in the bud with metal-free white fillings. Biocompatible composite tooth-colored fillings can put a quick end to decay without ruining your smile’s esthetics. Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry offers prompt and effective metal-free white fillings cavity treatment to our patients in Clemmons, North Carolina, and neighboring communities. 

How to Get Rid of Cavities Naturally with Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are composed of biocompatible, durable resin material mixed with powdered glass – no metal or mercury added. With mercury fillings, you showcase metal every time you smile, whereas composite tooth-colored fillings reveal a beautiful healthy smile even after undergoing cavity treatment. 

Here’s what you can expect from composite resin fillings:

• Esthetics

We all want a beautiful smile, even if we need cavity treatment. With composite fillings, you can retain your smile’s esthetics due to their tooth-colored appearance. Dr. Wynne will color-match the resin filling to the color of your natural teeth to make it blend in with your smile. That way, your filling doesn’t attract attention when you open your mouth. 

• Effectiveness

Composite fillings are effective in treating cavities, as the resin material bonds well with your tooth enamel to seal out future infection and decay. Dr. Wynne will remove the diseased part of your tooth and fill the space with resin material. We will shape the filling to match the contours of your tooth, restoring its natural appearance. Then, we’ll cure the filling with a special light to harden it. Once the filling is dry, your tooth is ready for use again. With good oral care, your filling can last up to 10 years for long-term cavity protection.

• Less Drilling

Unlike mercury fillings, which require a lot of drilling to make space for the filling, composite fillings require minimal drilling for their application. Less of the tooth’s original structure will be removed, making it stronger.

• Quicker Treatment

Composite fillings can speed up cavity treatment because they require less drilling and can be hardened with a special light. Composite fillings can be placed in a single dental visit. This means less time in the dental chair, making it easier to fit your treatment into your busy schedule.
