At Healthy Smiles Dental, we understand the importance of not only a beautiful smile but a healthy one. Dr. Sarkis Aznavour and his staff work closely with individuals to ensure the smile looks great. When patients are faced with areas of decay, they need to work with a Santa Clarita area dentist to discuss the placement of dental fillings. Our team is excited to provide composite resin fillings.
Patients are often interested in learning about what composite fillings are and how they work in restoring the smile. Over the years, many dentists have used silver amalgam fillings or metal fillings that may contain materials that are not biocompatible with the body. This can create problems, including issues such as mercury toxicity. Many dentists have changed over to offering composite resin fillings as an alternative. These fillings are more appropriate for our patients because they do not have negative health concerns.
Composite resin fillings have several advantages over more traditional materials use.
Any patient who has a cavity is a viable candidate for the placement of composite fillings. Dr. Sarkis Aznavour of Healthy Smiles Dental will often determine if a cavity is small enough for a filling or requires another type of restoration such as an inlay, onlay, or a crown.
If you reside in the area of Santa Clarita and are ready to discuss the benefits of composite resin dental fillings, we encourage you to make an appointment with our team today!
