Composite Restorations (White Fillings)

What is it?
Composite restorations, also known as white fillings, are dental fillings made from a tooth-colored resin material used to restore teeth affected by cavities or damage.

About Composite Restorations (White Fillings)

Composite restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural color of the teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing option compared to traditional metal fillings. The composite resin is applied in layers and hardened with a special light. This material is highly versatile and can be used for both small and large fillings, as well as for repairing chipped or cracked teeth. Composite fillings are durable and can withstand normal chewing forces while maintaining a natural appearance.

How it Works

The dentist removes decayed or damaged tooth material.
Composite resin is applied in layers, with each layer being cured with a special light.
The filling is shaped and adjusted to match the natural contours of the tooth.
The restoration is polished to achieve a smooth and natural finish.
