Understanding Composite Restorations
Composite restorations, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. This material is carefully matched to your natural tooth color and bonded directly to the tooth structure. Composite restorations can repair cavities, chips, and small fractures, restoring both the function and appearance of your teeth.
