Composite Resin Fillings
Composite resin fillings are the most common alternative to dental amalgam (silver fillings).
They are sometimes called “tooth-coloured” or “white” fillings because of their colour. Composite resin fillings are made of a type of plastic (an acrylic resin) reinforced with powdered glass filler. The colour (shade) of composite resins can be customized to closely match surrounding teeth. Composite resin fillings are often light cured by a “blue-light” in layers to build up the final restoration.
Composite resin fillings blend in with surrounding teeth due to the colour matching ability, they are quite high in strength and durability, and require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure for placement.
