Composite Fillings: Safe and Effective Care for Cavities
Although good oral care can minimize your risk of cavities, keeping your teeth healthy and decay-free can still be challenging. If you do get a cavity, you can keep decay from spreading through dental fillings. At Artistry in Smiles in Los Banos, California, we consider composite restorations the safest dental fillings for addressing decay and restoring your smile’s health and beauty.
About Composite White Fillings
Our team recommends composite resin fillings if you prefer a metal- and mercury-free filling. Composite fillings are a mix of resin (plastic) and powdered glass material that bonds directly with your tooth enamel, forming a protective seal against harmful bacteria and future decay. This tooth-colored filling can be tinted to match the color of your natural teeth so that your filling is discreet. Composite restorations can provide you with years of quality use with proper care.
Advantages of Choosing Composite White Fillings
Composite fillings won’t ruin the esthetics of your smile due to their tooth-colored appearance. That’s a big plus for people who have quite a few cavities. When it comes to safety, composite fillings that are BPA, mercury- and metal-free won’t pose a risk to your health.
Additional advantages include the following:
Versatility: Besides addressing decay, composite fillings can be used as bonding to repair small chips or cracks in your teeth or fill gaps between your teeth to improve your smile’s appearance.

Less drilling: Composite fillings can be applied with less drilling, which helps keep more of your tooth structure intact. This helps preserve the strength and integrity of your tooth.
Less sensitivity: Composite fillings won’t expand or contract like silver amalgam fillings, making them less likely to crack or come loose. You’re also less likely to experience sensitivity to temperature changes in your mouth when consuming hot and cold foods and drinks.
