Composite Resin Fillings FAQ's
Owasso, Oklahoma
Why are composite resin fillings and bonding so popular?
Composite resin material is extremely natural looking, and can be used to improve the shade of teeth. Dr. Lim’s patients like to use this material because it offers a simple and conservative solution to a variety of problems. Many patients choose to use composite fillings and bonding on front teeth, because of there resemblance to natural teeth.
Should I replace an old filling with a resin filling?
Many patients choose to update their fillings, especially if they have unsightly metal fillings that draw attention. Also, fillings that are several years old have a tendency to show wear ant tear and eventually crack. With older metal fillings, there tendency to expand and contract often allows bacteria to access pockets between the enamel and gums, creating areas of decay. To find out if your old fillings are doing more harm than good, contact Dr. Lim for a free smile consultation.
How is the bonding procedure performed?
During your consultation, Dr. Lim will examine the tooth or teeth that may require bonding. Dr. Lim then chooses a perfect shade to complement your smile. With esthetic bonding, the composite resin material is placed directly onto the tooth and then exposed to a hardening light. The result is a stronger, natural-looking tooth free from defects!
What are the advantages of esthetic bonding?
With esthetic bonding, you are simply adding corrective material to a natural tooth. Unlike other more invasive choices, there is no need to remove tooth structure or enamel. Bonding can be completed quickly, painlessly and with no down time.
