Composites, also known as colored fillings, are designed to match the natural appearance of your teeth. They are used to restore a decayed tooth instead of mercury silver fillings that tend to darken the tooth and leak over time. For example, once the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, we will place several layers of the tooth-colored composite onto this tooth to return it to a natural, beautiful shape.
Composite fillings, like the fillings you are used to, are prepared and placed in just one visit. We recommend using them and consider them the standard of care today; much like mercury silver fillings were used in the past.
