COMPOSITE FILLINGS

“WHITE FILLINGS”

Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are used to restore decayed teeth. They are often made up of powdered glass and acrylic resin and can also be used in cosmetic dentistry to improve the shape of the teeth.  

Many people choose composite fillings because they look more natural compared to amalgam or gold fillings, which can be easily noticeable in the mouth. These fillings can be closely matched to the color of your existing teeth, which makes them great choices for front teeth or visible parts of the teeth.

Composite fillings also have many other advantages, including:

• They chemically bond to the tooth structure for further support.

• They are durable and fracture-resistant.

• Can be used to repair chipped, broken, or worn-down teeth.

• Preparation often spares more of the tooth than amalgam fillings.
