Composite Restoration
Composite restorations, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are used to repair cavities, cracks, chips, or worn teeth. Made from a blend of resin and fine glass particles, composite material closely matches the natural color and texture of teeth, making it a popular choice for visible areas like front teeth. These restorations bond directly to the tooth structure, preserving more of the natural tooth and providing excellent support.
In addition to their cosmetic advantages, composite fillings are durable and suitable for small to medium-sized restorations in both front and back teeth. They can be completed in a single dental visit, with minimal discomfort. Composite materials can also be used for cosmetic reshaping and gap closure, offering a versatile solution for both functional and aesthetic dental needs.
