Composite Fillings

What are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored or white fillings, are a popular choice for restoring teeth that have been affected by cavities or minor damage. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite fillings are made from a mixture of tooth-colored plastic and glass particles, providing a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Composite fillings offer several advantages over traditional amalgam fillings, including:

1. Aesthetics: Composite fillings are custom-matched to the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible and ideal for front teeth or areas that are visible when you smile.

2. Conservation of Tooth Structure: Composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings, allowing for more conservative treatment options.

3. Durability: With proper care and maintenance, composite fillings can last for many years, providing long-lasting restoration and protection for your teeth.

4. Versatility: Composite fillings can be used to repair small to moderate cavities, chipped or cracked teeth, and even to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

5. Biocompatibility: Composite fillings are made from non-toxic materials, making them a safe and biocompatible option for dental restorations.
