What Is Composite Resin, And How Can It Improve My Smile?

Dental Horizons provides an outstanding material called composite resin used for dental fillings. It is made from powdered glass quartz, silica, or other ceramic particles blended with a resin base. The material can be precisely matched to the shade of a patient’s teeth, resulting in a more natural look.

  • When used for dental fillings, this material provides natural-looking support for your teeth, helps prevent temperature sensitivity, and offers long-lasting protection with proper care.
  • When used for dental bonding, this material can fill gaps between teeth, correct chips, cracks, and minor misalignment issues, and update your teeth's shape, size, and color.

Once the material has been applied and hardened with a special curing light, our dentist will shape the resin and ensure it looks and feels great.

Is Everyone a Candidate for Composite Resin Services?

In most cases, yes! Rest assured that we will evaluate your specific requirements and offer a customized treatment plan to cater to your oral health condition. If the composite resin is unsuitable for you, we will present alternative options to enhance and restore your smile.

Can you get composite bonding with fillings?

Yes, you can get composite bonding along with fillings. Composite bonding is often used to repair teeth that are chipped, cracked, or discolored, while fillings are used to treat cavities. Both procedures can be done simultaneously to improve both the appearance and function of your teeth.

Is dental bonding the same as filling?

No, dental bonding and fillings are not the same, although they can serve similar purposes. Dental bonding is primarily a cosmetic procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin to enhance the appearance of teeth. Fillings, on the other hand, are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay. Both procedures use similar materials, but they are applied differently and serve different primary functions.
