Composite Fillings is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. During dental composite fillings, a white filling is placed onto your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling "bonds" with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth.
Tooth composite fillings can also be used for teeth fillings instead of amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver amalgam fillings. Composite Fillings can be used on front and back teeth depending on the location and extent of tooth decay.
Composite Fillings is less expensive than other cosmetic treatments and usually can be completed in one visit to our office. However, composite fillings can stain and is easier to break than other cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers. If it does break or chip, tell your doctor. The Composite Fillings can generally be easily patched or repaired in one visit.
