Composite Fillings
A composite filling is s dental restoration using a blend of specialized tooth-colored plastic material with or without very minute fillers like glass. These types of fillings are “bonded” to the tooth in contrast to silver amalgam fillings which are mechanically retained or inlays and crowns which are cemented in place..
Composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.
