What Are Composite Fillings?
Cavities, one of the most common dental problems, develop when bacteria eat away at your dental enamel. Previously, dental cavities were filled with an amalgam material, which is a mixture of metals, such as silver or mercury. We now know that amalgam fillings do not adhere fully to the enamel, and the mercury is dangerous to your general health. At Aspire Dental Spa in Beachwood, OH, Dr. Lisa Browning uses tooth-colored fillings made with a composite resin to fill cavities and protect the tooth. Dr. Browning can also remove metal fillings and replace them with composite resin fillings for a safer and better-looking treatment for cavities.
What Should I Expect with Composite Fillings?
Receiving a filling at Aspire Dental Spa is typically a quick treatment. The treatment area will be numbed to help you feel more comfortable. Stronger forms of sedation can be considered if you have any fears or anxieties to help keep you relaxed during the procedure. After you are ready, the decayed enamel is removed with a dental drill that Dr. Browning will select based on the location of the cavity in the tooth and the level of decay. After the enamel is removed and the area is cleaned, the area will be filled with the composite material and set with a special light. Dr. Browning will smooth the filling so it matches your natural teeth.

Dr. Browning is the best dentist I have encountered in my adult years being responsible for my healthcare plans! I left for a minute because I wanted a dentist closer to home- BUT I am back and it was the best decision that I could have ever made for me and my son! I was amazed with all the technology and how professional and knowledgeable her staff was. I also got to see Dr. Browning in her leadership role teaching her team as she was noticing things! She is the truth and I am glad to be back home with the Browning Team!
I always have a great experience at Dr. Brownings office! The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable and they are always willing to take the time to answer my questions. I highly recommend this office.
