What are composite fillings?
Composite fillings, are dental restorations used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. They are made of a mixture of tooth-colored plastic and glass particles, providing a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. Composite fillings are highly versatile and can be used to fill cavities, repair chips, reshape teeth, and even change the color of teeth for cosmetic purposes.
