What Are Composite Resin Fillings?
Composite resin fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, offer a natural appearance that seamlessly blends with your original tooth color. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite resin fillings are customized to match the shade of your teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable to anyone who glances at your mouth. But what exactly is this tooth-colored material? It’s a mixture of plastic (acrylic) resin reinforced with a powdered glass filler. Dentists use composite resin for various dental restorations, including fillings, veneers, inlays, and crowns. Additionally, this material is employed to repair or restore broken or chipped teeth.
Benefits of Composite Resin Fillings
- Natural Appearance:
- Composite fillings closely mimic the color and texture of natural teeth.
- They blend seamlessly, enhancing your smile without drawing attention to dental work.
- Durability:
- Although not as long-lasting as gold fillings, composite resin fillings are strong and durable.
- With proper care, they can serve you well for many years.
- Versatility:
- Dentists use composite resin for both front and back teeth.
- It’s suitable for repairing small to moderate cavities, chips, and fractures.
Safety Considerations
- Composite resin fillings are considered safe for dental use.
- They do not contain mercury, unlike traditional amalgam fillings.
