Composite Fillings in Marietta, GA: A Smile’s Best Friend

December 23, 2023

If you have a cavity, the Dental Care Center at Kennestone is here to help! Today, we’re super excited to share some information about composite fillings, a dental solution we offer in Marietta, Georgia.

Why Choose Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are a blend of plastic and glass materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. They are primarily used to treat cavities or minor tooth damage like cracks or fractures. At Dental Care Center at Kennestone, we highly recommend composite fillings for several reasons:

Natural-looking: Composite fillings closely match the color of your natural teeth, making them almost indistinguishable. You can laugh, talk, and eat without worrying about noticeable silver fillings.
Durable and Long-lasting: Composite fillings can withstand the pressure of biting and chewing, although they might need replacement after many years.
Supports Tooth Structure: Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, providing support to weakened structures and preventing further damage.
Minimal Tooth Preparation: Unlike other fillings, composite fillings require minimal removal of your original tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

The Procedure

Getting a composite filling is a simple process that typically takes just one visit to our practice. Our dentists will remove the decayed tooth material and clean the affected area. The prepared cavity will then be filled with the composite material, which will be shaped to fit your tooth. The filling is then hardened using a special curing light and finally polished to prevent premature wear and staining.

Put Your Oral Health First

Remember, the best way to deal with cavities is to prevent them. Regular dental check-ups can help identify potential issues early and keep your smile healthy. If you’re in Marietta, GA, and think you might need a filling or want a routine check-up, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Keep smiling, Marietta!

I absolutely love this dental experience. I used to dread having to make dental trips but since finding this office 4 years ago that took the dread away. From making the appointment, to visiting with the office staff. It's great. The Hygienist is very friendly. But that Dr. O,
she is a ray of sunshine. Perfect bedside manner, concerning, caring, helpful, and so very positive. I do not have dental insurance and could go somewhere else that may be a tad cheaper but I wouldn't trade this dental office for the world. They feel more like family. Give them a try you won't regret it!

I am very happy I came to this dental office! I tend to avoid going to the dentist because of past experiences, but my visit today was 10/10!! The dental hygienist, Kelly, and Dr. Buffington were so nice and thorough. I highly recommend! So happy I found a good and nice dental office finally!! :)

Always a great experience when I come in for cleanings or any work that has to be done. Special thanks to my hygienist Kelli for a good cleaning today and making me feel comfortable. Dr. Buffington is also terrific and very attentive. The entire staff will make you feel welcome and comfortable.

I have been a patient here for many years. I’ve always had positive experiences. I especially like the Dental Hygenist “Callie”. She is just the best, always smiling and cheerful, just what you need at the Dentist. She is very experienced and I’ve learned a lot from her. All the Staff is very nice and polite and Dr Buffington is great also. I’ve had a lot of dental work done by her and never had a problem. She is very gentle and painless too!

Nancy M.
The dentist, Dr. Buffington, hygienist, and staff were professional and efficient. Dr. Buffington provided an excellent explanation to my question so that I understood the situation. High recommend this dental practice.

Don S.
Dr. Buffington has to be the kindest, most patient dentist in the world. The staff is amazingly attentive, non-judgemental and offers a very comforting experience. I appreciate how patient they are with me, a 44-year old that still cries and would rather give birth (without medication) than have dental work. I hope you catch my drift😉

Adriennes B.
I really like Dr. Buffington. She gave me a plan that gives me hope about a TMJ issue. Everyone on the staff was professional and seemed genuinely caring. I would highly recommend the office.

It’s a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and they don’t try to sell you on things you don’t need.

Donna D.
I highly recommend this dental practice. They took prompt and amazing care of me to address a TMJ episode. Dr. Buffington and all employees I encountered were professional, friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They set me on the path of recovery and have earned my respect and business going forward. How refreshing to engage with a business that truly understands customer service.
