| If you want your fillings to
be invisible, composite resins can restore a decayed tooth or
repair a defect. Mostly, composite resins are used on front
teeth that bear less chewing pressure, although composites have
been developed that can be used for selected fillings in back
teeth such as molars. Composites are composed mainly of two
primary ingredients: a binder of plastic resin and a filler of
finely ground, glass-like particles that give them a lifelike
appearance and durability. Composite fillings can be placed in
one visit, just like a traditional amalgam filling. |
