Composite Fillings & Bonding

Dental filling helps to fill gaps and protect the teeth from decay. Dental Filling & bonding is also used to repair decayed, worn, broken or cracked teeth. If you notice any such symptoms, then you might need a tooth filling. Our dentist - Dr. Gray offers Composite Filling, Composite Bonding and cosmetic service in Gurnee.

Repair & Restore Damaged Teeth
There are several restorative and cosmetic treatments which Dr Gray is able to use. One common solution for many patients is the use of composite resin to restore and improve the aesthetics of teeth. Dr Gray provides composite fillings and composite bonding to the people of Waukegan, Lindenhurst, North Chicago, Beach Park and the surrounding Gurnee communities.

What is Composite?

Dental filling repair sites of mild tooth decay and serve as replacement tooth structure for that area. Dental composite is a flexible resin material our Gurnee dentist likes to use when performing dental fillings. The composite resin is the same color as natural teeth, so treatments involving composite do not stand out in the smile. Composite can also have certain protective advantages as well, depending upon the treatment for which it is used.

Composite Bonding for Cosmetic Dental Needs
Composite bonding is the use of composite resin to cover and reshape the aesthetic appearance of the front teeth. This restructuring can fill in small gaps between teeth to create a more uniform smile and cover chips and cracks in each tooth. Composite bonding is used by Dr.Gray as a less invasive alternative to porcelain veneers.

Composite bonding can be advantageous as a cosmetic dental procedure because it is not invasive. No part of the tooth needs to be affected in order to host the composite resin bonding, unlike the preparation done to teeth receiving veneers. Additionally, should the bonding need to be replaced, the composite resin can easily and safely be removed, leaving the tooth as healthy as it originally was. Because there are no veneers to fabricate, bonding is also much faster to apply.
