COMPOSITE DENTAL FILLINGS OREM, UT

What are Composite Dental Fillings?

Composite fillings are an aesthetic type of dental restoration used to repair minor tooth damage. If a tooth has a cavity or is affected by minor fracturing or chipping, Dr. Alexander Larsen may recommend a composite filling. Composite fillings are called such because they are created with composite resin, which is a tooth-colored material that is available in a variety of shades. Our skilled Orem dentist at Gentle Dental Arts will match the color of your dental filling to the natural shade of your teeth for a natural-looking effect.
