Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Also known as composite fillings, are an excellent alternative to traditional metal (amalgam) fillings. Here’s what you should know about them:
Appearance: Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Dentists can customize the composite material to match the shade of your tooth, making them almost unnoticeable.
Material: Composite fillings consist of a mixture of plastic (acrylic) resin reinforced with powdered glass. This combination provides both durability and aesthetics.
Uses: Dentists use composite resin for various dental restorations, including fillings, veneers, inlays, and crowns. It’s also used to repair broken or chipped teeth.
Advantages:
Natural appearance: Tooth-coloured and less obtrusive than amalgam fillings.
Durability: While not as long-lasting as gold fillings, composite fillings can still last up to 15 years.
Safety: Composite fillings are considered safe and do not contain mercury like amalgam fillings.
Remember, if you have a cavity, your dentist may recommend composite fillings to maintain both function and aesthetics.
