Composite resin restorations have been tested for several years. They preserve more of your healthy tooth. Silver-colored amalgam fillings require the removal of significant amounts of healthy tooth. With composite resin, only the damaged tooth areas need be removed. Rather than merely filling your tooth, resin forms a lasting bond that reinforces your tooth from every angle.
Clinical studies show that composite resists wear better than many restorative materials.
They are gum friendly. With proper technique, the contour and polish are far superior and can protect your gums better. Crowns Crowns become necessary when there is insufficient tooth structure to support a filling. Teeth that are severely broken down from decay or fracture can be fully restored to proper appearance and function with a crown restoration. Crowns cover the tooth completely, fitting just at the gumline and protecting the remaining tooth.
