Bonded Fillings in Janesville WI
Cavities, chipped teeth, and minor tooth damage can affect both the health and appearance of your smile. At O’Leary Dental, we provide bonded fillings designed to restore damaged teeth while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.
What Are Bonded Fillings?
Bonded fillings are tooth-colored composite resin restorations used to repair cavities, cracks, chips, worn teeth, and other minor dental imperfections. The material is bonded directly to the tooth using a specialized curing light that hardens and secures the filling in place.
Bonded fillings restore:
- Cavities and tooth decay
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Worn teeth
- Uneven tooth surfaces
- Cosmetic imperfections
Because bonded fillings are custom-matched to your natural tooth color, they provide a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver fillings.
The Bonded Filling Procedure
At O’Leary Dental, we focus on making restorative dental care comfortable and stress-free.
Examination & Shade Matching: We begin by evaluating the tooth and selecting a composite resin shade that closely matches your natural enamel.
Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is gently prepared and cleaned before the bonding material is applied.
Composite Resin Application: The tooth-colored resin is carefully shaped and molded to restore the tooth’s appearance and function.
Curing & Polishing: A specialized curing light hardens the material before final adjustments and polishing are completed for a smooth, natural finish.
The result is a durable restoration designed to look and feel like your natural tooth.
