Advantages of Composite Fillings
Composite fillings, crafted from a mixture of plastic resins and fine glass particles, offer several benefits over traditional silver amalgam fillings:
- Aesthetically Pleasing: The tooth-colored material of composite fillings blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a more natural appearance than silver amalgam fillings.
- Tooth Structure Conservation: This type of filling bonds directly to the tooth, which allows for a more conservative preparation and preserves more of your natural tooth structure.
- Durability: Composite fillings are designed to withstand the forces of chewing and can last many years with proper care.
- Versatility: Beyond filling cavities, composite material can repair chipped, cracked, or worn teeth, making it a versatile option for various dental issues.
- Safety: Composite fillings do not contain mercury, making them a safe option for patients concerned about the potential health risks associated with amalgam fillings.
