Restorative Composite Filling – Restore Your Smile with Precision

At Perla Dental, we offer Restorative Composite Fillings, an advanced and aesthetically pleasing solution for repairing damaged or decayed teeth. Whether you need a filling with or without a matrix, our composite fillings are designed to restore the natural appearance and function of your teeth while ensuring long-lasting durability and comfort.

What is a Composite Filling?

A composite filling is a tooth-colored material used to fill cavities or repair damaged teeth. It is made from a mixture of plastic resins and fine glass particles that mimic the natural look of tooth enamel. These fillings are ideal for cavities in visible areas as they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing an aesthetic solution that is both functional and discreet.

Types of Composite Fillings: With and Without Matrix

1. Composite Filling with Matrix

A matrix is a temporary mold used to shape the composite material during the filling procedure. This method is typically used for larger cavities or when additional support is needed. The matrix helps ensure a precise and well-contoured filling, allowing for better restoration of the tooth’s shape and function.

2. Composite Filling without Matrix

For smaller cavities or areas where minimal shaping is needed, a matrix-less filling may be applied. In this case, the composite material is carefully sculpted directly onto the tooth without the use of a mold. This method is often quicker and works well for smaller repairs where precision is still important but the use of a matrix is unnecessary.

How the Procedure Works

1. Consultation: Your dentist will assess the damage or decay in your tooth and discuss whether a composite filling with or without a matrix is the best option for you.
2. Preparation: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned to ensure the filling adheres properly.
3. Filling Application: For matrix fillings, the matrix is placed to form the desired shape. Then, the composite material is layered in small increments and hardened using a curing light. For matrix-less fillings, the composite material is directly shaped and hardened on the tooth.
4. Finishing Touches: Once the composite material is set, the filling is polished to blend seamlessly with the natural tooth surface, ensuring a smooth, comfortable finish.
