Composite fillings are tooth-colored materials used to repair damage such as cavities, fractures, or wear on teeth. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, the cavity is filled with a composite resin that matches the natural color of the tooth and is hardened using a special light. This process offers excellent aesthetic results, blending seamlessly with the natural tooth structure. Composite fillings can be used on both front and back teeth, preserving the tooth's original structure and function. Additionally, composite fillings bond to the tooth, enhancing its strength and resistance to chewing forces. Compared to other types of fillings, less tooth structure is removed, making this a more conservative treatment option. One of the benefits of composite fillings is that they require minimal drilling of the affected area, preserving more of the natural tooth and improving its longevity.
