Your guide to composite resin fillings as tooth decay treatment
Pierrefonds, Quebec, area patients diagnosed with tooth decay, or “cavities,” might have questions about the right treatment for their needs. At Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry, we often utilize composite resin fillings, a biocompatible and attractive material used in dentistry to address areas of tooth decay. For many reasons, we suggest this treatment as an alternative to other materials like silver amalgam fillings. Drs. Ramin Mirmooji and Samer Abboud can talk to patients and answer their questions about this treatment.
What are composite resin fillings?
Composite resin fillings are tooth-coloured fillings made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. They’re great for repairing damage or filling cavities because they mimic the colour and shine of natural teeth. Plus, they are practically invisible, so nobody will know they are there unless you show them or tell them!
Are composite resin fillings safe?
Absolutely! Our composite resin fillings are completely safe for dental use and have been a popular choice for years with many of our patients. They are free from materials like mercury that some patients might worry about, making them a modern and trusted option for maintaining your pearly whites throughout your lifetime.

How long do composite resin fillings last?
While they might not last forever, composite resin fillings are durable. With proper care, like brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups, most will last anywhere from five to ten years–or even longer in some cases. Taking good care of your teeth really makes a difference.

Do composite resin fillings hurt to get?
Drs. Ramin Mirmooji and Samer Abboud of Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry numb the area with a local anesthetic so you will not feel any discomfort during the procedure. If anything, you might notice a bit of pressure as the dental team works their magic on your damaged tooth. Once the numbness from the anesthetic wears off, you’ll be good to go!
Can I still eat and drink normally after getting a composite filling?
Once your dental filling is set and your mouth is no longer numb, you can enjoy your meals as usual. Just be gentle with crunchy or sticky foods for the first day or two to give your filling a strong start and avoid any immediate complications.
Will the filling change colour over time?
Composite fillings are resistant to stains, but like natural teeth, they might discolour a little if you are a fan of coffee, tea, or red wines. Brushing regularly and rinsing your mouth can help keep them looking fresh and keep them from staining with time.
How do I take care of my composite resin fillings?
Caring for composite resin fillings is as simple as maintaining your natural teeth! Brush twice a day, floss daily, and see Drs. Ramin Mirmooji and Samer Abboud for regular checkups. Your dental team at Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry are your best partners in keeping your fillings and overall dental health in tip-top shape so you can keep smiling!
