A Composite filling or white tooth colored filling is used to restore decayed areas of the tooth. Composite is also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.

What are the advantages of a composite filling?

Aesthetics are the main advantage, since we can blend shades to create a color identical to your actual tooth. Composites bond to the tooth to support the remaining tooth structure, which helps to prevent breakage and insulates the tooth from excessive temperature changes.

Studies have shown that composites can last up to 7-10 years, which is comparable to silver fillings except in very large restorations.
