Description

Cosmetic fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings or composite fillings, are a type of dental filling material used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, which are made of a metal alloy and can be visible when a person speaks or smiles, cosmetic fillings are made of a composite resin material that can be color-matched to the surrounding teeth, making them virtually invisible. Cosmetic fillings are bonded to the tooth using a dental adhesive and can be used to restore teeth that have small to moderate amounts of decay or damage. They can also be used to repair chipped or broken teeth or to replace old or worn-out fillings.
