Combat Decay with Mercury-Free Composite Resin Fillings

Your teeth are constantly exposed to bacteria in your mouth, which can come from food, drinks, and debris. Regular brushing and flossing keep bacteria buildup to a minimum but don’t completely eliminate it, as there are areas your toothbrush can’t reach. Consequently, these areas are prone to cavities. Untreated decay can put your whole mouth at risk, which is why it’s important to treat cavities quickly. At Flower Mound Dental: Dr. William E. Wyatt, Jr., we use composite resin fillings to treat decay and restore your tooth’s health, function, and beauty. 

Composite Fillings: Mercury and Metal Free

Composite fillings are made of resin material mixed with powdered glass. They’re 100% biocompatible with your gums and teeth and contain no metal or mercury to trigger allergies or harm your gum tissues. Moreover, composite fillings are highly effective in combating decay and restoring decayed teeth. Dr. Will Wyatt will shape your tooth, remove the decay, and seal it with a composite resin material to protect it from future infection. 

Restorative Properties of Composite Resin Fillings

Many dentists today use composite fillings for dental cavity treatment due to their restorative and cosmetic properties. These fillings:

• Form a tight bond with your teeth to strengthen their structure while protecting them from future cavities.
• Insulate your teeth to reduce tooth sensitivity when consuming hot or cold foods and drinks.
• Are hardly noticeable on your teeth due to their tooth-colored appearance, which helps maintain your smile’s aesthetics.
• Nip decay in the bud to keep it from spreading.
• Repair and restore decayed teeth so they can continue to be used.

If your tooth is chipped, cracked, or slightly broken, Dr. Wyatt can repair it using composite resin material as bonding. Bonding can also hide tooth stains and discolorations or close gaps between your teeth to improve your smile’s appearance. 

From cavity treatment to dental bonding, composite fillings can renew your smile and make it healthy and whole again.
