Composite fillings are a reliable dentistry solution for problems such as tooth decay or small cracks. At Marlborough Dental Studio, we use a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture to restore decayed teeth and blend seamlessly with your natural smile. Beyond restoration, composite fillings can also be used for cosmetic improvements, correcting discoloration or reshaping a disfigured tooth so your smile looks and feels its best.

One of the greatest advantages of composite fillings is their natural appearance. Because the material is matched to the shade of your existing teeth, your filling blends in discreetly, unlike older metal fillings. Composite fillings also bond directly to the tooth, which helps support its structure and allows us to preserve more of your healthy tooth in the process.

Treating decay early with a filling helps prevent more serious problems down the road. If decay is caught during a routine cleaning and exam, a simple filling may be all that is needed. However, more extensive decay may require additional treatment such as a root canal or a crown.
