Natural colored fillings and restorations

Composite resins are also known as tooth colored fillings or bondings. They are the preferred method to restore tooth structure damaged by decay or trauma. Composites come in a variety of shades so your dentist will help select a shade that closely matches your natural tooth. The material is bonded to the tooth then finished and polished to create a natural looking restoration. Composite resins are also used to replace aging or failing amalgam (silver) restorations.
