Composite Fillings.

   The most convenient, practical and natural appearance material to fill a dental cavity is composite.

   These materials have several advantages over the old silver amalgam material;

          - Color accuracy

          - Less dental structure in good condition to be drilled

Composites are bonded or attached to the dental cavity by adhesive techniques; after the dentist drills the cavity a "bonding" agent is extended to the internal surface of it and successive layers of composite in paste placed to fill and shape the tooth form. The dentist sets the material with high intensity light and finally trims and polishes it to high gloss.

If the fillings (also called restorations) are the final step of a treatment plan in which the patient got his/her teeth bleached, the composite color choice is a "bleach" tone that will match to the new desired shade. 

Replace old amalgam fillings to composite matching color new ones:
