Discover our most requested solutions:

1. Composite Fillings: The Invisible Repair

What They Fix: Cavities, small chips, and worn edges
Material: Tooth-colored resin (glass/ceramic particles in plastic matrix)
Perfect For: Front teeth or visible areas where aesthetics matter

The Procedure (Single Visit):

Numbing: Comfortable local anesthesia
Decay Removal: Precisely eliminate damaged tissue
Bonding: Apply tooth-etching gel for micro-mechanical adhesion
Layering: Artistically place/composite resin in shade-matched layers
Curing: Harden each layer with blue LED light
Shaping: Sculpt to match natural tooth contours
Polishing: Mirror-smooth finish

Why Choose Composite Over Amalgam?

2. Inlays & Onlays: The Precision "Partial Crowns"

What They Fix: Moderate decay, large fractures, or failed fillings
Materials: Porcelain (most aesthetic) or gold (maximum durability)

Key Difference:

INLAY: Fits between tooth cusps (like a puzzle piece)
ONLAY: Covers 1+ cusps but spares healthy structure

The Procedure (Two Visits):

Visit 1:

Prep tooth under anesthesia
Digital scan (no messy impressions!)
Place temporary restoration
Lab Phase: Custom fabrication (2-3 days)

Visit 2:

1. Remove temporary
2. Bond permanent inlay/only with dental cement

FAQs

Do tooth-colored fillings stain?

Modern composites are highly stain-resistant. Avoid excessive coffee/red wine for 48hrs after placement.

Can an onlay crack?

Our porcelain onlays have 400MPa strength (enamel=300MPa).

Why two visits for inlays?

Custom lab fabrication ensures perfect fit and bite – worth the wait for decades of service.

Is there mercury in composite fillings?

Absolutely not! They're BPA-free and biocompatible.
