What Are Composite Dental Fillings?
Composite fillings are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. They are used to fill cavities and repair minor tooth fractures or chips. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite materials can be closely matched to the shade of existing teeth, offering a more natural appearance.
Benefits of Composite Dental Fillings:
- Aesthetics: Closely matches the color of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly.
- Bonding: Chemically bonds to tooth structure, providing additional support.
- Versatility: Can be used for a variety of cosmetic dental improvements besides fillings, such as changing the color or shape of teeth.
- Conservation: Less tooth structure needs to be removed compared with amalgam fillings.
Ideal Candidates for Composite Fillings:
- Visible Tooth Repair: Especially suitable for front teeth or more visible areas of the mouth.
- Small to Mid-Size Repairs: Ideal for small-to-moderate restorations that need to withstand moderate chewing pressure.
