Advantages of Composite Materials for Dental Restorations
Composite dental fillings come with a plethora of benefits compared to older filling options. The resin used is designed to match your natural tooth color impeccably, rendering repairs utterly unnoticeable when you smile or talk. These fillings necessitate minimal tooth removal during the preparation phase, allowing us to conserve more of your healthy tooth. The composite material chemically bonds with your enamel, forming a protective seal that helps thwart future decay around the filling.
