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.
