Composite Fillings (Tooth-Colored Fillings)
When considering
tooth fillings, one of the options available is composite
fillings which are made from durable plastics that are similar in color to
natural teeth. Because the composite fillings are tooth-colored, they look more
natural and are less noticeable compared to other types of fillings.
Another benefit of tooth-colored fillings is that they are compatible with sealants, allowing your dentist to perform both procedures in a single sitting and thus preventing further decay. There are other advantages to composite, tooth-colored fillings such as, most importantly, its ability to bond to tooth structures. Also, in many cases these fillings can be repaired by the addition of more composite material.
