Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are dental restorations designed to be discreet and natural looking. They blend well with the teeth and feel more natural than amalgam fillings, which are darker and easier to see for other people.
Composite fillings are made of ceramic and plastic compounds that chemically bond to the teeth. They can be used to fill in decayed areas of the teeth, as well as to help repair chipped or broken teeth. Most dentists use composite restorations to treat the teeth closest to the front of the mouth, as they are more noticeable when patients smile. However, advancements in dental technology and the composition of composite fillings have made it possible for dentists to also use tooth-colored fillings on molars, which receive more wear than other teeth.
