Composite Resin Fillings for Safe and Effective Cavity Treatment

Almost everyone gets at least one cavity during the course of their lifetime. By reducing your sugar intake and being diligent in caring for your teeth, you can keep decay to a minimum. However, if a cavity occurs, you can turn to James M. Moran DDS, in Fallbrook, California, for cavity treatment. We treat cavities safely and effectively with composite resin dental fillings.

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Restorations for Cavity Treatment?

There are two options for treating cavities: silver amalgam or composite resin fillings. Although both are effective in stopping decay and restoring your teeth’ health, composite fillings have some advantages. Composite fillings are composed of tooth-colored acrylic resin material that can match the color of your natural teeth. Cosmetically, this makes your filling more appealing as it’s hardly noticeable when you smile.

Additional advantages include:

• Metal and mercury free, making them safe for people with metal allergies
• Biocompatible, posing no harm to your gums or teeth
• Bond directly onto the surface of your teeth, requiring less tooth enamel removal for application. This helps preserve more of the structure of your teeth
• Contain fluoride, a plus for helping to prevent cavities
• Strengthen your teeth while protecting them from future decay
• Can also be used for covering discolorations or repairing minor imperfections in your teeth

The durability, attractive appearance and versatility of composite fillings make them an excellent choice for treating cavities and restoring the function of decayed teeth.
