Composite Fillings (tooth-colored fillings):
When considering tooth fillings, one of the options available are composite
fillings which are made from durable plastics that are similar in color to
natural teeth. Because the composite fillings are tooth-colored, they look more
natural and are less noticeable compared to other types of fillings.
Another benefit of tooth-colored fillings is that they are compatible
with sealants allowing your child’s dentist to perform both procedures
in a single sitting preventing further decay. There are other advantages
to composite, tooth-colored fillings, most importantly the capability of
bonding to tooth structure. Also in many cases they can be repaired by
addition of more composite material.
Speak with one of our doctors to find out which kind of filling is
best for your child.
