The decayed portion of the tooth is then removed with dental equipment like a drill, air abrasion tool, or a laser instrument. However, the tool that\u2019s used entirely depends on the location of the cavity and the severity of the decay. Your dentist will then fill the cavity with the composite material to ensure your tooth will no longer receive any further damage. Once the cavity has been filled with the composite filling, your dentist will shape the composite material and polish it giving it a more natural appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<style>\n\t\t#c5ab-widget-pZBtFw{\n\t\t\tanimation-duration: 1000ms;\n\t\t\t-webkit-animation-duration: 1000ms;\n\t\t\t-moz-animation-duration: 1000ms;\n\t\t\t-ms-animation-duration: 1000ms;\n\t\t\t-o-animation-duration: 1000ms;\n\n\n\t\t\tanimation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t\t-webkit-animation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t\t-moz-animation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t\t-ms-animation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t\t-o-animation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><style><\/style><style><\/style><div id=\"c5ab-column-avKjkb\" class=\"c5ab-col-base c5ab-col-lg-6 c5ab-col-md-12 c5ab-col-sm-12 c5-light-background  \"><div class=\"code125-ab-background-wrap \"><div class=\"c5ab-widget widget_image-widget c5ab-desktop-TRUE c5ab-tablet-TRUE c5ab-mobile-TRUE\" id=\"c5ab-widget-kbMlZI\" data-animation-name=\"slideInRight\"><div class=\"c5ab-image-wrap left box-shadow\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilerestonheights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dental-drilling-from-inside-mouth-570x402.jpg\" width=\"570\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smilerestonheights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dental-drilling-from-inside-mouth-570x402.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.smilerestonheights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dental-drilling-from-inside-mouth-1140x804.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div>\t\t<style>\n\t\t#c5ab-widget-kbMlZI{\n\t\t\tanimation-duration: 1000ms;\n\t\t\t-webkit-animation-duration: 1000ms;\n\t\t\t-moz-animation-duration: 1000ms;\n\t\t\t-ms-animation-duration: 1000ms;\n\t\t\t-o-animation-duration: 1000ms;\n\n\n\t\t\tanimation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t\t-webkit-animation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t\t-moz-animation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t\t-ms-animation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t\t-o-animation-delay:0ms;\n\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style>#c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP { background: #151f1b}#c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP .code125-background-solid-shape:before,#c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP .code125-background-solid-shape:after {border-color: #151f1b;}<\/style><style>#c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP{ padding: 50px ;}#c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP{ padding: 50px 20px ;}#c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP{ padding: 50px 20px 50px ;}#c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP{ padding: 50px 20px 50px 20px ;}<\/style><div id=\"c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP\" class=\"c5-light-background c5ab-desktop-TRUE c5ab-tablet-TRUE c5ab-mobile-TRUE page-subbanner-black black-bg-title c5ab-section-common c5ab-align-left code125-ab-background-wrap\"><div class=\"c5ab-center-content\" ><style>#c5ab-section-kUJQmtFEtP .c5ab-center-content{max-width: 1170px; } <\/style><div class=\"c5ab-row clearfix\" id=\"c5ab-row-kUJQmtFEtP\"><style><\/style><style><\/style><div id=\"c5ab-column-ifXeuJFEtP\" class=\"c5ab-col-base c5ab-col-lg-12 c5ab-col-md-12 c5ab-col-sm-12 c5-light-background  \"><div class=\"code125-ab-background-wrap \"><div class=\"c5ab-widget widget_text-widget c5ab-desktop-TRUE c5ab-tablet-TRUE c5ab-mobile-TRUE\" id=\"c5ab-widget-pZBtFwFEtP\" data-animation-name=\"bounceIn\"><div class=\"code125-article-layout-common\"><div class=\"entry-content\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Advantages with Composite Fillings<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Dentists often use composite fillings because they have a natural aesthetic that closely resembles the rest of your teeth. Composite fillings are quite versatile and may be used to make corrections to teeth that are damaged such as chipped, broken, or cracked teeth.
