Composite fillings repair cavities while blending naturally with your teeth.
Treat decay early
A repair planned to fit your tooth
Composite fillings repair cavities while blending naturally with your teeth. With proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits, they can last for years.
Treating cavities early helps prevent decay from reaching the tooth’s pulp, which may require root canal treatment. An exam helps determine whether a filling is the right repair for the amount of tooth structure involved.
