What Is Composite Fillings?


Composite Fillings treatment in Kashi Dental Clinic helps to restore your decayed teeth with the help of a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture. Composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.

The major advantage of composite fillings is improved aesthetics. Since dentists can blend shades to create a color nearly identical to that of the actual tooth. Composites bond to the tooth to support the remaining tooth structure, which helps to prevent breakage and insulate the tooth from excessive temperature changes.

Composite fillings are dental restorations that blend seamlessly with the natural tooth structure. They bond directly to the tooth, which provides support and helps prevent further breakage. These fillings are ideal for both front and back teeth and are a preferred choice for patients who want a natural-looking smile.
