Composite Teeth Fillings
for Patients in the Abilene, Tuscola, Buffalo Gap, Potosi, Clyde, Breckenridge, Brownwood, and Sweetwater, TX Areas

One of the techniques used to repair a broken or decayed tooth is a composite filling. In this procedure, a filling will be inserted into the portion of the tooth that has been harmed or decayed. Dr. Hawley will carefully remove the affected portion of your broken or decayed tooth in order to make room for the composite filling.

Your composite filling will be designed to closely match the exact color of your existing tooth. They will help make your teeth look better and function better. While composite fillings are not permanent solutions for broken or decayed teeth, they can provide a temporary solution for your teeth that can actually last for many years. 

Reasons You May Need a Teeth Filling

  • You Have a Cavity: When you have hot and cold sensitivity, tooth pain, or sensitivity to sweets, chances are you have a cavity. Whether your cavity is small or large, a dentist will go in and remove the damaged area and provide you with a dental filling. 
  • Cracked Teeth: A cracked tooth is common and can be caused by grinding your teeth or eating hard items such as popcorn kernels or ice. You may not even know your tooth is cracked until you are at the dentist. A cracked tooth will be treated like a cavity.
  • Teeth Discoloration: Old age, smoking, and food items such as wine and coffee can all cause your teeth to become discolored. In some cases, teeth fillings may be able to help your discoloration. 
  • Teeth Filling Needs to be Replaced: Teeth fillings will not last forever; typically, they can last up to 15 years and wear down and crack for various reasons. It is essential to have your teeth fillings replaced as soon as possible before your tooth accumulates bacteria.
