Restore Your Smile with Dental Fillings
in Arlington, VA
Understanding Composite
Dental Fillings
At Cusumano and Stuver, we are committed to providing high-quality restorative dental care, and composite dental fillings are a significant part of our restorative treatments. Made from a blend of fine glass particles and resin, these tooth-colored fillings are designed to be strong, durable, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them virtually undetectable. Our expert team uses composite fillings to:
- Restore Decayed Teeth: We carefully remove decay and restore the tooth to its original shape and function.
- Repair Chips and Fractures: Composite material is ideal for correcting small imperfections, restoring the integrity and appearance of your teeth.
- Replace Old Fillings: Upgrade your old, worn-out metal fillings with composite ones that not only look better but are also more conducive to the natural function of your teeth.
Why Choose
Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings offer several advantages over traditional amalgam (silver) fillings:
Aesthetic Appeal
The tooth-colored resin allows for a more natural look, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Strong And Durable
Composite fillings bond directly to your tooth structure, providing extra strength and support.
Minimally Invasive
These fillings require less removal of healthy tooth material compared to amalgam fillings.
Versatility
They can be used to treat a wide range of dental issues, from cavities to minor cosmetic improvements.
The Cusumano and Stuver
Approach to Composite Fillings
Our approach to restorative dental care is grounded in precision and personalization:
1
Thorough Assessment
We conduct a detailed examination of your teeth to determine the extent of the damage and plan the best treatment approach.
2
Preparation
We make sure the affected area is thoroughly cleaned and prepped for the filling, removing any decayed or damaged tooth structure.
3
Application
The composite resin is applied in layers, each layer hardened with a special curing light to build up the filling gradually.
4
Shaping and Polishing
Once the composite material is in place, we shape and polish it to match the contours of your natural tooth, ensuring a comfortable and natural bite.
Caring for Your
Composite Fillings
Maintaining your composite fillings is simple and follows general oral hygiene practices. Brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential for keeping your fillings in good condition. Plus, it’s important to avoid habits that could damage your fillings, such as biting nails or chewing on hard objects. By following these simple steps, you can extend the life of your composite fillings and maintain your healthy, natural-looking smile. At Cusumano and Stuver, we are here to help guide you through proper oral hygiene practices and provide personalized care at every visit.
