Composite Fillings (tooth-colored fillings):
When considering tooth fillings, one of the options available are composite
fillings which are made from durable plastics that are similar in color to
natural teeth. Because the composite fillings are tooth-colored, they look more
natural and are less noticeable compared to other types of fillings.
Another benefit of tooth-colored fillings is that they are compatible with
sealants allowing your dentist to perform both procedures in a single
sitting preventing further decay. There are other advantages to composite,
tooth-colored fillings, most importantly the capability of bonding to tooth
structure. Also in many cases they can be repaired by addition of more
composite material.
Speak with one of our doctors to find out which kind of filling is
best for you.
