Direct Dental Fillings / Composite Resin Fillings

Say goodbye to noticeable dental fillings! Composite dental fillings are tooth-colored and metal-free, offering a durable and safe treatment option. These fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cavities, or trauma, providing a natural-looking and long-lasting result. Trust Dental Plus Lebanon to provide you with quality care and beautiful results.

Indirect Dental Fillings

Indirect dental fillings, such as inlays and onlays, are designed to fill cavities and restore damaged areas of the teeth. Unlike traditional fillings, inlays and onlays are modeled in a laboratory from porcelain and placed on the tooth for added durability. These fillings are an ideal solution for larger cavities or more severely damaged teeth, and they are aesthetically pleasing, as they can be color-matched to your natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a composite restoration last?

Composite restorations generally last 5 to 7 years with good oral hygiene. Regular check-ups and avoiding excessive stress on the teeth can help them last longer.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have composite or e.max restorations?

Whitening treatments don’t affect composite or e.max materials, so they won’t change color like natural teeth. You may need to replace restorations after whitening to ensure a color match.

Does getting a filling hurt?

Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, so you shouldn’t feel pain. Some may experience mild discomfort afterward, which typically subsides quickly.

Is an e.max inlay/onlay better than a composite filling?

It depends on the tooth’s condition. E.max inlays/onlays provide more strength and are more suitable for large areas of decay, while composite fillings work well for smaller cavities.
