What Are Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are made from a blend of plastic resins and fine glass particles, designed to match the natural color of teeth. They provide a strong, long-lasting restoration while preserving more of the natural tooth structure. Unlike silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, reinforcing its strength and reducing the risk of future fractures.
Benefits of Composite Fillings for Kids
Composite fillings are minimally invasive, blend naturally with teeth, and provide a durable restoration for children. They require less removal of healthy tooth structure, ensuring a more conservative approach to dental treatment. These fillings also harden quickly under a special curing light, allowing your child to resume normal activities soon after treatment.
