Composite Fillings in Birmingham

When decay, fractures, or wear compromise a tooth, composite fillings offer a durable, natural-looking solution. At Birmingham Emergency Dental, we use high-quality, tooth-colored resin to restore the function and appearance of your teeth—all with same-day care.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are made from a blend of resin and fine glass particles, designed to match the color of your natural tooth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite materials bond directly to the tooth, preserving more of your healthy structure.

When Do You Need a Filling?

Composite restorations are recommended for:

Cavities or Tooth Decay

If you have a cavity, prompt filling placement prevents the decay from spreading and causing further damage or pain.

Chipped or Cracked Teeth

Small fractures caused by trauma or wear can be repaired with composite material for seamless results.

Worn Enamel

Teeth worn down from grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion can be built back up to restore function and comfort.

What to Expect During a Composite Filling Procedure

Tooth Preparation

We gently remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth while preserving healthy enamel.

Bonding and Filling

A bonding agent is applied, and the composite resin is placed in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special curing light.

Shaping and Polishing

The final filling is shaped to match your bite and polished for a smooth, natural finish.
