Composite tooth fillings in Langley City, BC – the conservative way to rebuild natural-looking smiles
Think of your healthy tooth as a completed jigsaw puzzle. Sports injuries, accidents, gum disease, dental decay, and other trauma can erode a part of that “puzzle piece.” Smile365 Dental and Dr. Harpreet Aulakh can precisely put those pieces back together, and they do so in a manner that preserves maximum natural tooth structure. The result is a rebuilt tooth that feels, looks, and functions much like the natural tooth when it was healthy before dental disease or injury.
Composite tooth fillings in Langley City, BC, and available to patients throughout Brookswood, BC, are a conservative, non-traumatic, quick, and painless way to restore the appearance and health of your smile.
Smile365 Dental patients ask, “What do you mean by ‘composite’?”
Dental composites refer to plastic materials made of tiny glass-like particles and acrylic resin. These materials are colour-matched to your teeth. So, once prepared, they are designed to look like natural teeth, down to how they shine – no obvious and unnatural-looking silver metal mouth.Composite resins are quite versatile. They can be used to “fill in” tooth decay, such as a cavity, or to cover imperfections, such as chips (a process known as dental bonding).

Sugars, starches, and bacteria form destructive plaque. This plaque can bore its way through the outermost layer of the tooth or enamel. In its earliest stages, enamel erosion can be treated with prompt changes to oral hygiene. It is possible to reverse the effects and remineralise tooth structure. If allowed to progress, enamel erosion can cause sufficient damage to require restorative care, such as dental fillings.
After the damaged areas are cleaned, the tooth-coloured composite material is prepared or shaped to perfectly fill the cavity. The filling effectively covers up and protects the formerly weakened area and restores its healthy and attractive appearance. If cavities are not treated promptly, restoring the tooth with inlays, onlays (partial crowns), full crowns, and root canal treatment may become necessary.
Dr. Aulakh always recommends the most conservative option to rebuild your tooth in a way that supports lasting health. Call (604) 409-8660 to schedule your appointment at Smile365 Dental near Brookswood, BC, in Langley City, BC.
