Composite Filling & Dental Bonding at Reston Heights Dental

These minimally invasive treatments repair decay and fix small flaws using durable, tooth-colored resin—helping you chew comfortably and smile confidently in Reston, Virginia.

How Treatment Works

Composite fillings bond to enamel to seal out decay and rebuild strength. Dental bonding uses the same material to reshape or recolor a tooth—often with no shots or drilling. We match your shade, place and cure the resin, then shape and polish for a natural finish.

  • Metal-free, natural look Tooth-colored resin blends with your enamel. Great for visible areas
  • Strong, conservative repair Resin bonds to tooth structure, preserving more healthy enamel.
  • Fast, comfortable visits Most cases are completed in one appointment with little to no downtime.

When to Choose Filling vs. Bonding

We recommend composite fillings for cavities or replacing silver fillings; bonding for chips, small gaps, uneven edges, or discoloration that whitening can’t fix. Your dentist will guide you to the most predictable, long-lasting option.

  • Composite filling Treats decay, cracks, and worn areas; restores bite and strength.
  • Dental bonding Refines shape, closes small spaces, and blends color for a seamless smile.

Technology We Use

  • Digital X-rays for precise cavity detection with low radiation
  • Intraoral cameras so you can see what we see
  • Electric handpieces for quieter, more precise preparation
  • Caries-detection dye to ensure no decay is missed
  • iTero digital scanning for shade matching and bite analysis

Aftercare & Longevity

With good home care and regular checkups, results commonly last 7–10 years or longer. Protect your work by brushing and flossing daily, avoiding ice and pens, and wearing a nightguard if you clench.

Frequently Asked Questions About Composite Filling & Dental Bonding

What’s the difference between a composite filling and dental bonding?
Fillings repair decay or structural damage; bonding focuses on cosmetic improvements like chips, small gaps, or uneven edges—often with no numbing.
Will my repaired tooth look natural?
Yes. We carefully match the resin to your tooth’s shade and translucency, then polish for a seamless blend with surrounding enamel.
How long do results last?
With daily brushing and flossing, regular cleanings, and avoiding hard objects, fillings and bonding typically last 7–10 years or more.
Does bonding hurt?
Most bonding is painless and usually doesn’t require anesthesia because little to no enamel is removed.
Can you replace my old silver fillings?
Absolutely. We can safely replace amalgam with tooth-colored composite for a brighter, more natural smile.
Will coffee or wine stain the material?
Composite can pick up stains over time. Professional cleanings and smart habits help keep it bright.
Should I whiten before bonding?
Yes—bonded resin doesn’t whiten. If you’re considering whitening, complete it first so we can match your final shade.
Is it covered by insurance?
Composite fillings are commonly covered by PPO plans. Cosmetic bonding coverage varies; we’ll review your benefits and costs up front.
Am I a candidate?
If you have a cavity, chip, small gap, or worn edge, you’re likely a good candidate. We’ll confirm with an exam and digital imaging.
