Composite Bonding & Fillings
At Eagle Dental Texas, our commitment to holistic dentistry means providing restorative dental treatments that prioritize your whole-body health and well-being. Dr. Beena John and our exceptional dental team are proud to offer composite bonding and tooth fillings using BPA-free and biocompatible materials to ensure the best possible outcome for your smile and overall health.
Safe Amalgam Filling Removal
If you have existing silver amalgam fillings and are concerned about potential health risks, Dr. John and Dr. Rodriguez offer the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) to remove them. They perform the procedure in a safe and controlled manner to protect you from mercury vapor and particles.
The SMART technique involves:
- Using a high-volume air filtration system to capture mercury vapor and particles
- Providing protective barriers to prevent ingestion or inhalation of mercury particles
- Using a high-speed suction system to minimize the release of mercury
- Disposing of mercury-contaminated materials safely to protect the environment
After removing your amalgam fillings, our dentists replace them with biocompatible, tooth-colored composite fillings custom-shaded that blend seamlessly with your smile.
Minimally Invasive Dentistry with Composite Resin
Composite resin is a versatile, tooth-colored material that allows for minimally invasive dental treatments. Using composite resin, we can preserve more of your natural tooth structure, reducing the need for more invasive procedures. The benefits include:
- A more conservative treatment that maintains the integrity of your teeth
- Enhanced aesthetics, as composite resin can be closely matched to your natural tooth color
- A strong, durable, and long-lasting restoration that supports your oral health
Transform Your Smile with Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is an effective and minimally invasive cosmetic dental solution to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth and close gaps between teeth. This versatile treatment can dramatically enhance your smile while preserving your natural tooth structure.
Once you and your dentist decide that bonding is right for your needs, the process involves the following steps:
- Etch the tooth's surface lightly to improve adhesion
- Shape and sculpt the composite resin to achieve the desired appearance
- Cure and harden the resin with a special light
- Polish the tooth to create a smooth, natural-looking finish
Composite Dental Veneers
Composite bonding is a conservative alternative to porcelain veneers because it preserves natural tooth structure. The process is non-invasive, requires minimal tooth preparation, and the biocompatible material supports whole-body health and wellness.
Unlike a porcelain veneer that needs to be replaced if damaged, we can also easily repair or adjust composite veneers or even remove them without damaging your teeth.
Composite Fillings: A Minimally-Invasive Alternative
We offer composite fillings at Eagle Dental Texas because they are a healthier, more aesthetic alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. Composite fillings offer several benefits compared to amalgam, including:
- Improved aesthetics
- A mercury-free, biocompatible material
- Greater preservation of your natural tooth structure
The Process for Placing a Composite Tooth Filling
The process for placing a composite filling typically includes the following steps:
- Remove the decay
- Etch the tooth's surface lightly
- Apply and shape the material to match the tooth's contours
- Use a curing light to harden the composite resin
- Polish the filling to create a smooth, natural-looking finish
