Composite Fillings
The Benefits of White Fillings
At Towning Dental, we offer our patients in Columbus, Upper Arlington, Grandview, and the surrounding areas the most advanced, aesthetically pleasing solution for treating cavities: white fillings. Also known as composite or tooth-colored fillings, white fillings seamlessly blend with your natural tooth color, ensuring a discreet, confident smile. In addition to their natural appearance, white fillings are made from a durable composite resin that bonds directly to your tooth structure, strengthening the tooth and reducing the risk of future decay and fractures. Compared to traditional silver amalgam fillings, white fillings require less tooth removal, allowing Dr. Towning to preserve more of your healthy tooth structure.
The Composite Filling Procedure at Towning Dental
When you visit our Columbus dental office for a white filling, Dr. Dena Towning and her experienced team will ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure. We begin by thoroughly numbing the area around the affected tooth to minimize any discomfort. Next, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth and carefully clean the area to prevent future decay. We then apply the composite resin material in layers, shaping and sculpting it to match the contours of your tooth. Finally, we use a special light to harden the filling and polish it to a smooth, natural-looking finish. To maintain the strength and appearance of your white fillings, we recommend practicing excellent oral hygiene habits and visiting our office regularly for cleanings and exams.
