The Tooth Architect Dental Care team believes in providing the best solutions for patients with certain oral health concerns. This includes those who have been diagnosed with tooth decay. Tooth decay, or cavities, can impact the smile in many ways, often resulting in sensitivity, pain, and bad breath. Without treatment, they may become large and deep towards the nerve, impacting the structure and health of the tooth and requiring solutions such as root canal therapy or extractions. Instead, dental cavity treatment with composite dental fillings is often the most desirable option for several reasons!

Here are the reasons why patients love the use of composite dental fillings for cavity treatment:

• Biocompatible and non-toxic material. Composite dental fillings are fabricated from glass and ceramic particles that are most compatible with natural tooth structures. They are free of BPA, mercury, and other known toxins that are in old filling material. 
• Their natural appearance. Composite dental fillings are fabricated from a tooth-colored material, making them virtually invisible in the mouth. This is one of the main reasons why patients prefer composite fillings over traditional silver or amalgam fillings. The natural appearance of composite fillings allows patients to maintain a beautiful smile without signs of dental work.
• Their versatility. Unlike other fillings, composite fillings can be used on both front and back teeth. They are also suitable for filling small and large cavities and repairing chips or cracks in teeth. This versatility makes them a popular choice for patients with multiple cavities or cosmetic imperfections in their teeth.
• Minimal removal of tooth structure. Composite fillings require much less tooth structure to be removed compared to traditional silver or amalgam fillings. This is because composite material bonds directly to the tooth, creating a strong and durable seal. As a result, our patients can preserve more of their natural tooth structure, leading to better long-term oral health.
• Less sensitivity. Due to the metal materials used, many patients experience increased sensitivity after getting traditional silver or amalgam fillings. However, composite fillings do not contain metals and are less likely to cause sensitivity in patients. This makes them a more comfortable option for those with sensitive teeth.
• Quick and easy procedure. Composite fillings are fast and easy, often requiring only one visit to the dentist. The composite material is administered directly onto the tooth, shaped, and effectively hardened with a special light. This means patients can treat their cavities promptly without disrupting their daily routine.
