Composite "White" Filling Basics
Advertisement
Procedure Description:
Composite "white" fillings, made of composite, are used to restore teeth that have small cavities. They are called "white" fillings because of the natural, tooth color of the material. Unlike inlays and onlays that are crafted in an outside lab, composite fillings can be made on-site and completed in only one office visit.
How It's Done:
A composite "white" filling is used when the cavity is small and the patient desires a natural-looking restoration. The dentist will numb the area, then prepare the tooth for restoration, removing any decay. He or she will then apply the composite, and fill the cavity. After the composite has been cured, it will be smoothed and shaped for fit and comfort.
Technology:
No special technology is necessary for the use of composite fillings.
Recover/Post Op Expectations:
Following the placement of a composite filling, the patient may experience some discomfort or tenderness in the area. Ibuprofen can reduce the symptoms.
Complications:
Complications from the use of composites are unlikely. It is possible that you may need an adjustment to accommodate your natural bite, and there may be minor sensitivity for a few days.
Am I a Candidate?
If you have either a small cavity or an existing small metal filling you wish to have replaced, you are a candidate for a composite "white" filling.
Cost:
The cost to fill a tooth with composite typically ranges from $250 to $650 per tooth, depending on the size of the filling and how many surfaces are involved.
