Benefits of Composite Fillings

The modern dentist has a range of filling types to choose from but composite fillings are fast becoming the most popular choice for patients. This is because composite fillings, unlike silver or amalgam, are mixed to match a patient’s existing tooth colour. 

Benefits of composite fillings:

• Unnoticeable

• Give a natural look to teeth

• Provide a great smile

Although composite fillings are more expensive than amalgam they are ideal for patients who “prefer that fillings look more natural” and are suitable for small fillings in the front and back teeth.
