Composite fillings

What is a Composite or Resin Filling (tooth-color filling)?
Composite fillings are a mixture of powdered glass and plastic resin, sometimes referred to as white, plastic, or tooth-colored fillings. With the advancement of composites, they have become a popular alternative to the traditional amalgam restorations. 

What are some advantages of composites?
Composites are far more aesthetics than silver amalgam restorations. Dentist can choose different shades and even blend shades together to mimic your natural tooth color. Composites can bond to the tooth structure so that less reduction of tooth structure is needed to retain the filling material. In other words, this allows the dental treatment to be more conservative. 

White fillings contain no mercury in comparison to the traditional amalgam fillings. The mercury content of amalgam fillings is the main contribution to mercury pollution and is the main reason that it is banned by a few countries.  

What are some disadvantages of composites? 
Patients that receive dental composites may experience post-operative sensitivity. Composites tend to wear out sooner than silver fillings and require more frequent replacements in comparison to dental amalgams. 

Perhaps composite filling is the right choice to treat your dental issue. Make a reservation for a consultation today (link). 
The following dental composite case was published June of 2105 on our website. It is an example of using dental composite to replace aged restorations (in this case, a combination of amalgam and composite) (link).
