Composite fillings, often called tooth-coloured fillings, are a popular choice for repairing teeth affected by decay or minor damage. These composites closely match the natural shade of your teeth, making them an ideal option for restoring your smile discreetly.
One of the biggest advantages of composite fillings is their ability to bond directly to the tooth structure. This strong adhesion not only helps restore the tooth’s shape and function but also supports the remaining healthy enamel, reducing the risk of further damage. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite materials require less removal of healthy tooth tissue during preparation, preserving more of your natural tooth.
Composite fillings are versatile and suitable for both front and back teeth, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. The treatment process is relatively quick: after removing decay, your dentist will layer the composite material into the cavity and harden it with a special light. The filling is then shaped and polished to ensure a smooth, natural finish.
If you’re looking for a filling option that blends seamlessly with your teeth while providing strength and durability, composite fillings are an excellent choice to discuss with your dentist. They combine function and appearance, helping you maintain a healthy, attractive smile for years to come.
