Composite resin fillings have several advantages over more traditional materials use.
Composite fillings do not expand and contract to temperature changes, meaning there is less of a chance of bacteria entering into the tooth after placement.
Composite fillings are more aesthetic and blend in with the natural smile, avoiding the appearance of having had dental work completed in the mouth.
Composite fillings are safer and do not expose patients to metals or mercury which can have unwanted effects on health and wellness.
