Composite Fillings
Composite fillings restore teeth affected by cavities, minor chips, or wear using a tooth-colored material designed to blend naturally with your smile.
What Are Composite Fillings?
A natural-looking way to repair and protect your tooth.
Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair small areas of decay, minor chips, or worn tooth structure.
Unlike older metal-colored fillings, composite material is carefully shaded to blend with your natural tooth. At Bobb Dental at Northgate, fillings are placed with attention to comfort, function, and appearance so the tooth feels strong and looks natural.
Repairs Cavities
Composite fillings restore areas where decay has been removed and help protect the remaining tooth.
Blends Naturally
The material is selected to match your tooth color for a more discreet restoration.
Supports Tooth Strength
A well-placed filling restores structure and helps the tooth function comfortably.
Composite fillings are designed to restore the tooth while keeping the final result subtle and natural-looking.
When Fillings Are Needed
Small problems are easier to treat when caught early.
Composite fillings are commonly used when a tooth has a cavity, small chip, minor fracture, or worn area that needs repair.
What composite fillings can help repair.
A filling restores damaged tooth structure and helps prevent decay or damage from getting worse.
Tooth Decay
A filling restores the area after decay is removed and seals the tooth against further damage.
Minor Chips
Composite material can repair small chips and smooth rough or uneven edges.
Natural Appearance
Tooth-colored material allows the repair to blend with the surrounding tooth structure.
Comfortable Function
Once adjusted, the restoration should feel smooth and comfortable when you bite.
Not sure if it is a cavity?
A dental exam can help determine whether a filling, crown, or another treatment is the best option.
Is a Filling Right For You?
A filling may be right when the tooth still has enough healthy structure.
Composite fillings are often recommended when decay or damage is limited enough that the tooth can be repaired conservatively.
Before placing a filling, we evaluate the size of the damaged area, the condition of the tooth, your bite, and your long-term oral health. If the tooth needs more support, we may recommend another restoration instead.
