Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings
We are now able to restore decayed teeth with bonded,
wear-resistant plastic fillings, rather than with traditional silver
amalgam (mercury) material. Tooth-colored composite fillings give
the tooth a normal appearance. Resin is bonded to the natural tooth,
strengthening the union of the tooth and the restoration, thus guarding
against microscopic leakage at the edges. Invisible fillings can
be easily repaired by the simple addition of resin.
