Why Elmira patients ask about composite fillings
Composite fillings can restore a tooth while keeping the repair subtle.
Patients from Elmira may want a tooth-colored option after a cavity is diagnosed or an old filling begins to wear.
We assess whether the damage is small enough for composite and whether a crown would be more protective.
The final filling is shaped to restore the tooth's contour and checked so chewing feels balanced.

Your appointment
What to expect at your composite filling visit visit.
Diagnosis and shade planning
We examine the tooth, review x-rays when needed, and choose a composite shade that blends with the surrounding tooth.
Prepare the tooth
Decay, rough edges, or damaged filling material are removed, and the tooth is prepared for bonding.
Place the composite
Tooth-colored material is bonded in layers, shaped to restore the missing area, and hardened.
Polish and check the bite
We smooth the filling, refine the shape, and check that your bite feels comfortable before you leave.
