Composite Bonding & Fillings

At Eagle Dental Texas, our commitment to holistic dentistry means providing restorative dental treatments that prioritize your whole-body health and well-being. Dr. Beena John and our exceptional dental team are proud to offer composite bonding and tooth fillings using BPA-free and biocompatible materials to ensure the best possible outcome for your smile and overall health.

Safe Amalgam Filling Removal

If you have existing silver amalgam fillings and are concerned about potential health risks, Dr. John and Dr. Rodriguez offer the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) to remove them. They perform the procedure in a safe and controlled manner to protect you from mercury vapor and particles.

The SMART technique involves:

Using a high-volume air filtration system to capture mercury vapor and particles
Providing protective barriers to prevent ingestion or inhalation of mercury particles
Using a high-speed suction system to minimize the release of mercury
Disposing of mercury-contaminated materials safely to protect the environment

After removing your amalgam fillings, our dentists replace them with biocompatible, tooth-colored composite fillings custom-shaded that blend seamlessly with your smile.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry with Composite Resin

Composite resin is a versatile, tooth-colored material that allows for minimally invasive dental treatments. Using composite resin, we can preserve more of your natural tooth structure, reducing the need for more invasive procedures. The benefits include:

A more conservative treatment that maintains the integrity of your teeth
Enhanced aesthetics, as composite resin can be closely matched to your natural tooth color
A strong, durable, and long-lasting restoration that supports your oral health

Transform Your Smile with Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is an effective and minimally invasive cosmetic dental solution to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth and close gaps between teeth. This versatile treatment can dramatically enhance your smile while preserving your natural tooth structure.

Once you and your dentist decide that bonding is right for your needs, the process involves the following steps:

Etch the tooth's surface lightly to improve adhesion
Shape and sculpt the composite resin to achieve the desired appearance
Cure and harden the resin with a special light
Polish the tooth to create a smooth, natural-looking finish

Composite Dental Veneers

Composite bonding is a conservative alternative to porcelain veneers because it preserves natural tooth structure. The process is non-invasive, requires minimal tooth preparation, and the biocompatible material supports whole-body health and wellness.

Unlike a porcelain veneer that needs to be replaced if damaged, we can also easily repair or adjust composite veneers or even remove them without damaging your teeth.

Composite Fillings: A Minimally-Invasive Alternative

We offer composite fillings at Eagle Dental Texas because they are a healthier, more aesthetic alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. Composite fillings offer several benefits compared to amalgam, including:

Improved aesthetics
A mercury-free, biocompatible material
Greater preservation of your natural tooth structure

The Process for Placing a Composite Tooth Filling

The process for placing a composite filling typically includes the following steps:

Remove the decay
Etch the tooth's surface lightly
Apply and shape the material to match the tooth's contours
Use a curing light to harden the composite resin
Polish the filling to create a smooth, natural-looking finish

Frequently Asked Questions

How can cosmetic bonding improve my smile?

We recommend cosmetic bonding at Eagle Dental Texas because it is a versatile, affordable, non-invasive invasive dental treatment that corrects many aesthetic smile issues. This procedure uses composite resin color-matched to your teeth for a natural-looking, seamless appearance.

Cosmetic Issues We Correct with Bonding

Our cosmetic dentists use bonding to address a range of issues, including:

Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
Gaps between teeth
Irregular or misshapen teeth
Discolored or stained teeth

The Cosmetic Bonding Process

Applying cosmetic bonding typically requires one visit to our Sugar Land dental office. Our dentist carefully shapes the biocompatible composite resin and polishes it to blend with surrounding teeth for an improved and natural-looking smile.

A Non-Invasive Cosmetic Solution

One advantage of cosmetic bonding is that it requires minimal tooth preparation, so the material can be removed without damaging the underlying tooth structure. This non-invasive approach aligns with our commitment to holistic dentistry, ensuring that we consider your oral health and overall well-being.

We Also Offer Porcelain Veneers

If you have cosmetic concerns that are more extensive than what bonding can address, we also offer porcelain veneers. Veneers are a longer-lasting option that corrects many aesthetic issues and can even improve the appearance of slightly crooked teeth.

Are You Interested in Cosmetic Bonding?

At Eagle Dental Texas, we provide treatments like cosmetic bonding that help you achieve a radiant smile while maintaining the integrity of your natural teeth. If you want to know more about cosmetic dentistry at our Sugar Land, TX, dental office, please call us to schedule an appointment.

How do you remove amalgam fillings safely?

As a mercury-free dental office, Eagle Dental Texas does not use silver amalgam fillings. These fillings contain mercury, and over time, the vapors released can have negative health effects.

Removing amalgam fillings and replacing them with a biocompatible material can eliminate this risk and aligns with our holistic approach to dental care.

SMART Amalgam Filling Removal

We use the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) technique to ensure your safety when removing amalgam fillings. SMART involves a comprehensive set of safety measures to minimize mercury exposure, protecting you, our dental team, and the environment.

The SMART technique involves:

A high-volume suction system to capture mercury vapor and particles
A dental dam or barrier to isolate the tooth and prevent the ingestion of amalgam particles
Supplemental oxygen to ensure you don’t inhale mercury vapor
A high-speed drill that uses water to minimize heat and release of vapors
Proper disposal of amalgam waste to protect the environment

Our skilled team members are trained in the SMART technique and are committed to your safety and comfort during the process.

Are You Interested in Amalgam Filling Removal?

Safely removing amalgam fillings is an important aspect of holistic dental care that considers your overall health and well-being. If you have silver fillings and are concerned about the potential health risks, please call our Sugar Land, TX, dental office to schedule an appointment.
