What is a Composite (White) Filling? What are the Benefits?

At DentMax Balikesir, composite fillings are restorations using tooth-colored materials to treat cavities, fractures, or esthetic concerns. They bond directly to the tooth, require minimal removal of natural structure, and provide durable function. Benefits include natural color matching, structural preservation, and long-lasting results. Composite fillings are often combined with Aesthetic Fillings, Bonding, Restorative Dentistry, and Laminate Veneers for comprehensive treatment plans.

How Does the Process Work?

The affected tooth is first examined, and decayed or damaged tissue is removed. Composite resin is applied in layers, hardened with a curing light, then shaped and polished to achieve a natural appearance. In some cases, fillings are placed after Root Canal Treatment or alongside Teeth Whitening for esthetic enhancement.

Prices and Costs – Balikesir Dental Clinic

Prices and costs for composite fillings depend on tooth location, filling size, and material used. Small, single-surface fillings differ from larger multi-surface restorations. At DentMax Balikesir, exact costs are determined after examination and personalized treatment planning.
