What is a Composite Filling?
Composite (white) fillings are tooth-colored plastics used to restore decayed, cracked, or fractured teeth.
While highly durable and long-lasting, composite fillings aren't permanent and may need replacement eventually.
How Are Composite Fillings Applied?
Typically done in one visit, the dentist numbs the tooth, removes decay, and molds the composite filling to match the tooth's original shape and function.
Why Opt for Composite Fillings?
Aesthetics are a key advantage. Dentists can blend shades to achieve a color nearly indistinguishable from the natural tooth.
