Composite Fillings in Twin Falls, ID
Repair cavities and minor tooth damage with natural-looking composite fillings from Dr. Tyler Elison.
Restore and Protect Your Tooth
Composite fillings are made from tooth-colored resin that can be closely matched to your natural enamel. They restore areas affected by decay or minor damage while maintaining a more natural-looking smile than traditional silver fillings.
When Are Composite Fillings Used?
Dr. Elison may recommend a composite filling to repair:
- Small to moderate cavities
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Worn tooth surfaces
- Minor gaps or uneven edges
- Old or damaged fillings
A careful examination will determine whether a filling is the right solution for your tooth.
What to Expect
The damaged portion of the tooth is removed before the composite material is placed in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special light, then shaped and polished for a comfortable bite and natural appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Composite fillings can last for several years with proper oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and appropriate care.
