Composite Fillings

When the tooth is damaged by decay/ wear/ fracture, the decayed/damaged portion is removed and a dental filling is placed to replace the lost tooth structure.

Composite fillings (often referred as “white fillings”) are a mixture of glass or quartz filler in a resin medium that produces a tooth-colored filling. Composites can be "bonded" in a cavity, often allowing the dentist to make a more conservative repair to the tooth.

Not only used for restoring decayed teeth, composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.
