										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cavities are common for most people, and there was a time when the only option for filling them was a noticeable silver material. Fortunately, times have changed. Today, composite resin fillings, often called &#8220;white&#8221; fillings, have become the prevailing choice for restoring teeth due to their many benefits.</p>
<h2>Composite Resin Fillings</h2>
<p>In the past, white composite fillings were considered less durable and primarily used for front teeth, where appearance matters most. However, that’s no longer the case. Composite resin fillings have proven strong and durable, making them suitable for various restorative needs. This means that no matter how many cavities you have, they can be filled discreetly, allowing you to maintain a bright, natural-looking smile. Here are some of the key benefits of composite resin fillings:</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>Aesthetic Appeal</strong>: Composite resin&#8217;s natural color blends seamlessly with your tooth, making it an attractive option.</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>Conservation of Tooth Structure</strong>: Less drilling is required because composite resin bonds directly to the tooth, allowing me to preserve more of your original tooth structure.</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>Strong Bonding</strong>: Composite resin fillings bond directly to your tooth, reducing the risk of future fractures.</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>Repairability</strong>: If a composite filling is damaged, it can often be repaired without replacing the entire filling.</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>Less Sensitivity</strong>: Composite resin is less sensitive to temperature changes, offering more comfort when eating or drinking hot or cold items.</p>
<p>When it comes to fillings, composite fillings are your best choice for a healthy and happy smile. I will always share with you your best restorative care options to determine if a composite resin filling is the right solution for your dental needs.</p>
<p>If you have any questions or need to <a href="https://schedule.solutionreach.com/scheduling/subscriber/4461/scheduler">make an appointment</a>, please contact us at 440.354.0705.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p3">When coming into our office, patients are often surprised when we tell them that their fillings need to be replaced. If you had fillings when you were younger, chances are that due to time, use, and habits they may need to be redone one day.</p>
<h2 class="p1"><b>The life span of the filling depends on several factors.</b></h2>
<p class="p3">The duration a filling will stay in your mouth depends upon the material originally used and the method in which the dentist placed the restoration. Our technology has progressed over time so we have better ways to perform the procedure than we did years ago.</p>
<p class="p3">Where the filling is located can have some bearing on how long the filling will last. Posterior fillings (or fillings on the back molars) are subject to more stress and may more easily fracture.</p>
<p class="p3">Finally, a patient’s oral health and diet is a factor. Not caring properly for your teeth and eating a more sugar-based diet make your fillings more likely to fail over time.</p>
<h2 class="p1"><b>5 ways to make your fillings last longer:</b></h2>
<ol>
<li class="p3">Avoid soft drinks and sugary foods.</li>
<li class="p3">Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.</li>
<li class="p3">Avoid biting on hard foods that may break the restoration.</li>
<li class="p3">Visit my office at intervals we’ve suggested for cleanings. It gives me a chance to perform periodic exams to keep a watch on anything that may be concerning.</li>
<li>If you grind your teeth, ask me about mouthguard options.</li>
</ol>
<p class="p3">Be sure to contact my office if you have any tooth pain, change in tooth color, unusual odor emitting from your mouth, or if you see a crack or chip in your existing filling.</p>
<p class="p3">You may <a href="https://schedule.solutionreach.com/scheduling/subscriber/4461/scheduler"><span class="s1">make an appointment online</span></a> or call our office at 440.354.0705.</p>
<p class="p3">Sincerely,</p>
