Understanding Cavities and Prevention

Understanding Cavities and Prevention

Cavities are primarily caused by bacteria in the mouth that produce acid, leading to the formation of plaque. This sticky substance can damage tooth enamel if not removed through regular brushing and professional cleanings. Despite best efforts, some cavities may still develop. At Peoria Dentistry, we offer an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution with our metal-free, tooth-colored composite resin fillings.

Why Choose Composite Fillings?

Why Choose Composite Fillings?

Our state-of-the-art composite fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, ensuring that your dental work is not noticeable. This approach not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also maintains its natural look, whether you're speaking, laughing, or smiling.

Advantages of Composite Resin Fillings

Composite fillings provide several benefits over traditional metal (amalgam) fillings:

  • Aesthetic Appeal : They match the natural color of your teeth, maintaining the beauty of your smile without the metallic sheen of amalgam fillings.

  • Temperature Sensitivity : Unlike metal fillings, composite resins do not expand or contract significantly with temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracks and further decay.

  • Tooth Preservation : Composite fillings require less removal of the tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings, allowing for more conservative treatment and preservation of more natural tooth material.

Commitment to Advanced Dental Care
