Fillings – Durable and Aesthetic Solutions
What are Composite Fillings?
Our office offers white (metal-free) composite fillings. Composites are a mixture of a resin medium that produces a tooth-colored filling. These fillings are chemically bonded to the tooth, unlike metal fillings which use mechanical retention (silver or amalgam)
Benefits of Composite Fillings
- Durability: Composites provide good durability.
- Less Tooth Structure Removal: Allows for less tooth structure removal when the tooth is prepared, resulting in a smaller filling compared to traditional silver amalgam ones.
- Aesthetic Results: Excellent aesthetic results, often completely unnoticeable.
Uses of Composite Fillings
- Fill cavities
- Replace old fillings
- Restore broken cusps of teeth
- Replace worn enamel
