Dental Fillings

What is it?

Composite resin fillings or tooth-colored fillings are made of acrylic resin, plastic materials, and powdered glass. They're a popular choice with many parents as they're a safe and effective dental filling material for children. Composite resin can also be colored to match the natural color of your child's teeth.

Who it’s for:

Dental fillings for kids are suitable for children of all ages, including toddlers and young children with baby teeth, who have tooth decay, cavities, or damaged/cracked teeth that require repair to prevent further infection. They are essential for preventing pain, restoring tooth function, and protecting adult teeth underneath.

How the procedure works:

Dental fillings for kids involve removing tooth decay, cleaning the area, and filling the cavity with materials like composite resin to restore tooth structure, typically completed in under an hour. The procedure is made comfortable with local anesthesia, sometimes assisted by nitrous oxide, and includes numbing the area, removing decay, filling the cavity, and polishing for a smooth finish.
