Dr. John Matchett is committed to offering the most conservative and effective treatment options, ensuring your oral health and the beauty of your smile. One example is the use of tooth-colored composite bonding & fillings to address a variety of dental concerns.

How Is Composite Resin Used in Dentistry?

Composite resin is a dental material that mimics the appearance of natural teeth, offering a seamless and discreet solution for dental repairs. Its ability to blend seamlessly with the teeth we are treating makes it an excellent choice for bonding and tooth fillings.

Composite Bonding: Enhancing Your Smile's Aesthetics

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive dental procedure at our Sherman Oaks dental office used to address several cosmetic dental issues, including:

The Composite Bonding Process

The composite bonding process is easy and comfortable. Because it is minimally invasive, we can often complete treatment without needing to numb the tooth. The dental bonding procedure involves:

Prepare the tooth: We gently etch the tooth's surface to ensure a strong bond between the composite resin and the tooth.
Apply the material: Dr. Matchett applies the composite resin to the tooth and expertly sculpts it to achieve the desired shape and size.
Cure the resin: As we build up each layer of material, we use a special curing light to harden it and ensure it is securely bonded to the tooth.
Shape and polish: We polish and shape the composite resin for a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Composite Tooth Fillings: A Modern Alternative to Silver Amalgam

We also use composite resin to create durable tooth fillings. This material offers numerous advantages compared to silver amalgam fillings, including:

Aesthetics

Composite resin fillings are custom-shaded to blend in with your natural teeth for a discreet, seamless appearance.

Less tooth removal

Composite fillings require less removal of tooth structure, so we can preserve more of your natural tooth.

Adhesion

Unlike silver fillings, composite resin bonds directly to the tooth, providing additional support and strength.

Mercury-free

Composite resin is a mercury-free material, offering a biocompatible option.
