What Are Composites?

Composites, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are dental restorations made from a mixture of plastic and glass particles that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composites blend seamlessly with your teeth, making them virtually invisible. They are commonly used to repair cavities, replace old fillings, and restore chipped or broken teeth. Composites are bonded directly to the tooth structure, providing strong, long-lasting results while maintaining the natural look of your smile. They are a popular choice for patients who want a durable, aesthetically pleasing alternative to metal fillings.

How Do Composites Work?

The process of getting a composite filling begins with the removal of decayed or damaged tooth material. Once the tooth is prepared, the composite resin is carefully applied in layers, with each layer being hardened using a special light. The dentist will then shape and polish the filling to match the contours of your natural tooth, ensuring a perfect fit and bite. The result is a restoration that looks and feels just like a natural tooth. Composites are versatile and can be used on both front and back teeth, providing strength and beauty in one treatment.
