Composite Fillings in Brooklyn

What are composite fillings?

Composite fillings are used to fix teeth when they have decay, are cracked or are broken. 

Composite fillings are recommended for patients because they closely match the colour of your existing teeth.

What happens during your fillings procedure?

During your fillings appointment, the decayed portion of your tooth will be removed, and then the area is filled with a filling.

What happens after the procedure?

After your appointment your dentist will give you instructions on how to care for your teeth after treatment. 

The Brooklyn Dental Centre team encourages good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits after you receive your filling.

Your fillings may need to be replaced in the future, as is the case with most dental restorations.

Composite fillings are durable and can last to help you maintain a healthy smile.

Why do I need fillings?

We apply fillings to damaged or decayed teeth because if these teeth are left untreated, the damage will only progress and worsen. This can result in much more serious dental issues in the long run, including gum disease, extensive tooth decay, and even tooth loss.

There are a variety of reasons a patient may need fillings:

• Chipped, cracked or broken teeth
• Closing space between two teeth
• Decayed teeth
• Worn teeth
