Cosmetic, compatible, and conservative: How composite fillings complement our holistic dental practice

Posted By: Dr. Al A. Fallah | Published On: May 10, 2024 | General Dentistry

With every therapy that is prescribed to fight gum disease or every cavity that is repaired with a filling, Dr. Al A. Fallah considers the relationship between the mouth and the rest of the body. As a holistic dentistry practitioner, Dr. Fallah accounts for systemic health and well-being in all that he does. So, you can trust that every material, technique, product, or technology has been carefully selected and has your optimal safety, long-term health, and best interests at heart.

Fillings at Dentistry for San Diego

From our office in Carlsbad, California, Dr. Fallah places fillings made from dental composite. This material fits well with our other holistic and biological dentistry services. Formulated with a fine glass powder, this resin (plastic) is truly biocompatible. It does not irritate surrounding tissues nor present additional risks to the health of neighboring teeth, gums, and the rest of your body. Furthermore, it is an appropriate material for individuals with concerns or a known history of sensitivities or adverse allergic reactions to the metals in some dental materials.

Dr. Fallah’s patients also appreciate that the color of the composite can be perfectly matched to blend in with the shade of the surrounding tooth structure and the neighboring teeth in their smile. These fillings complement the smile’s appearance, and do not stick out unnaturally like dark or silver-colored metal amalgam restorations.

Last but certainly not least, composite dental fillings preserve the utmost healthy tooth structure. Fillings made from an amalgam or blend of metals generally require that tooth structure be drilled out or removed. The removal of this tissue is needed to accommodate the filling, which is then placed and secured in the reshaped hole or cavity. These holes result from tooth decay and represent the tissue that is eroded as the disease progresses without treatment.

Our conservative composite fillings are applied as a liquid in layers. As each composite layer is applied, Dr. Fallah hardens it with a curing light. This process allows us to retain as much natural and healthy tooth structure as possible. Maximal natural tooth structure also supports the most lifelike feel, sustained function, and the strongest bond between the filling and the tissue it is secured to, so it is designed to last.
