Composite Fillings are the most modern, high-tech fillings available today.
Composite fillings are available in a wide assortment of shades to closely match
each individual tooth. Composite filling materials for back teeth are
particularly strong and abrasion resistant, whereas the materials for front
teeth are more highly polishable and translucent. Composite fillings seal
and attach to teeth with a high-strength mechanical bond to tooth structure.
Hence, the common name "Bonding" for composite fillings. Composites can
not only be used to fill cavities, but also to close spaces or change the shape
or color of teeth.
