At Camarillo Premier Dental, we prioritize your health and the aesthetics of your smile. That’s why we exclusively offer composite fillings—mercury-free, tooth-colored solutions that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you’re dealing with a cavity or want to replace old metal fillings, our composite fillings are a safe, durable, and attractive option.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are made from a mixture of fine glass particles and plastic resin, creating a material that can be color-matched to your teeth. These fillings are ideal for:

  • Repairing Cavities: Fill cavities discreetly without the noticeable appearance of metal.

  • Fixing Cracks and Chips: Restore the integrity and appearance of damaged teeth.

  • Replacing Old Metal Fillings: Upgrade your smile by replacing old amalgam fillings with natural-looking composite materials.

Advantages of Composite Fillings

Choosing composite fillings at Camarillo Premier Dental offers several benefits:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Composite fillings match the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible.

  • Mercury-Free: Our practice does not use amalgam fillings, ensuring your treatment is free from mercury and other metals.

  • Strong and Durable: Composite materials bond directly to your tooth structure, providing strong and lasting results.

  • Conservative Treatment: Less tooth structure needs to be removed compared to traditional amalgam fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth.

The Composite Filling Process

  1. Initial Examination: We begin with a thorough examination to detect cavities or other damage that may require fillings. Digital X-rays may be used for a detailed view.

  2. Tooth Preparation: The affected area is cleaned, and any decay is removed to prepare the tooth for the filling.

  3. Application of Composite Material: The composite resin is applied in layers, with each layer carefully shaped and hardened using a special light.

  4. Shaping and Polishing: Once the filling is in place, it is shaped to fit your bite and polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth.

Caring for Your Composite Fillings

To keep your composite fillings and overall oral health in top condition:

  • Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily to prevent future cavities and maintain the integrity of your fillings.

  • Regular Dental Check-Ups: Routine visits allow us to monitor your fillings and address any issues early.

  • Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage your fillings.
