What is Composite Dental Fillings ?
At JR Medical, we exclusively use composite fillings, a modern alternative to traditional metal fillings. These composite fillings, also known as resin or tooth-colored fillings, not only blend seamlessly with your natural teeth but also offer both aesthetic and functional benefits. Crafted from a mixture of plastic resin and finely ground glass, they mimic the color and translucency of natural tooth enamel, ensuring a more natural-looking result. As a result, patients enjoy both enhanced appearance and long-lasting durability.
We utilize the state-of-the-art iTero scanner for all our dental services, ensuring precise, efficient, and comfortable scanning for optimal results.

What is Application Process for dental filling ?
The process of applying composite fillings is efficient and typically takes 20 to 30 minutes per tooth. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
Firstly, we will administer a local anesthetic to numb the affected area and ensure your comfort.
Next, the dentist will carefully remove any decayed or compromised tooth structure using specialized tools.
Once the cavity is prepared, we will thoroughly clean it to remove any debris and bacteria, ensuring a healthy environment for the filling.
Then, we will layer the composite material into the cavity, choosing a shade that closely matches your natural teeth. Afterward, we will shape and polish the material to ensure a smooth, natural appearance.
Finally, a special light will harden the filling, allowing it to bond securely to the tooth structure, completing the process.

What is Post-Treatment Care for dental filling ?
Composite fillings require similar care to your natural teeth. To maintain their integrity and appearance, follow these guidelines:
Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss regularly to prevent cavities and gum disease. This practice helps protect both your fillings and natural teeth.
Regular Check-Ups: Schedule routine dental visits to monitor the condition of your fillings and overall oral health. These visits allow us to address any potential concerns early on.
Awareness: Stay alert for any signs of wear, such as rough edges or sensitivity. If you notice any changes, contact us promptly so we can assess and address the issue.
What are advantages of Composite dental Filling ?
- Aesthetic Appeal: Composite fillings can be custom-matched to the color of your existing teeth, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural dentition. This makes them virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.
- Strength and Durability: The bonding properties of composite materials enhance the structural integrity of the tooth, reinforcing healthy tooth structure while offering strength and support. This combination ensures lasting results.
- Minimally Invasive: Applying composite fillings requires less removal of healthy tooth material compared to traditional amalgam fillings, which often require more extensive drilling. As a result, we preserve more of your natural tooth.
- Cost-Effective Alternative: In some cases, composite fillings can be a more affordable solution than crowns, which typically involve significant alteration of the tooth. Composite fillings provide an effective repair without the need for such drastic measures.
- Versatile Use: Composite fillings work well for repairing chips, cracks, and decay, making them suitable for both anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth. This versatility allows us to offer tailored solutions for various dental concerns.
- Environmentally Friendly: Unlike amalgam fillings, composite materials do not contain mercury, which helps reduce environmental contamination risks. At JR Medical, we exclusively use Venus Pearl composite, a high-quality, eco-friendly option that provides superior aesthetics and durability

What is temporary filling ?
A temporary filling is a short-term solution used to protect a tooth after a root canal or cavity treatment. It helps seal the tooth while waiting for a permanent filling. Additionally, it prevents infection and further damage until your follow-up appointment.
Are temporary fillings a good idea ?
A temporary filling is a great solution to protect a damaged tooth while waiting for a permanent filling. However, since temporary fillings aren’t meant to last, it’s important to schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist for a permanent filling. This will help protect your tooth from further decay and infection.
Can I brush over temporary filling ?
If you have a temporary filling, you can still brush your teeth.
How long after temporary filling can I eat ?
You can eat 30 to 45 minutes after a root canal, as this gives your temporary filling enough time to fully harden. However, it’s best to avoid eating immediately after the procedure to ensure optimal results.
