Composite fillings or resin fillings are today's treatment of choice for plugging cavities and enhancing smiles. Composite fillings are better than traditional fillings, which are made of different kinds of metals, including mercury, which many patients don't want in their mouth. Metal is often visible when you smile, while composite is a tooth-colored mixture of glass and plastic that blends in well with the rest of your teeth. This is especially important for patients that require front-tooth restorations.
Why Choose Composite Fillings?Composite fillings are discreet; metal fillings are unsightly.
Composite has multiple uses and can be used to fill cavities and repair broken, discolored, worn or chipped teeth.
Composite bonds tightly to tooth surfaces, providing additional support to teeth.
Composite fillings are made with materials that are more acceptable to patients.
