What are composite fillings?

Composite fillings are a tooth-coloured restorative material used to repair dental cavities. Made from a mixture of resin and glass or quartz particles, they offer a natural appearance, strong durability, and a secure bond to the tooth. At our affordable dental clinic in Aberdeen, composite white fillings are a popular choice for restoring both oral function and smile aesthetics without compromising on quality or cost.

How do composite fillings work?

Composite fillings work like dental glue which is bonded directly to your tooth. Tooth-coloured resin is applied layer by layer and cured with a special light to build a strong bond. This process strengthens your tooth, preventing future decay or damage effectively.

Why choose tooth-coloured restorations?

A tooth-coloured composite filling helps patients achieve a natural and fresh appearance which perfectly matches their natural teeth. They eliminate the unattractive look of traditional metal fillings and provide a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Additionally, these fillings are durable, resistant to staining, and attached directly to the tooth to promote strength and longevity. Tooth-coloured fillings offer not only a functional but also an attractive solution for addressing dental issues.

Composite fillings

Composite fillings also known as “tooth-coloured” or “white” fillings are composed of biocompatible resins with glass-like fillers to provide durable restorations. These are available in natural shades and offer an excellent alternative to traditional silver fillings. The bonding process seals and strengthens teeth which need less removal of tooth structure. While closely matching natural colour, composite fillings may need replacement over time and can be prone to staining.

Amalgam fillings

Amalgam fillings are ideal because of their strength and affordability. On the other hand, they are prone to discolouration and potential damage to healthy tooth structure. Mercury concerns exist, but it’s been safely used in fillings for years. Alternatively, you can choose cast gold fillings for a modern look but keep in mind they need more visits and are a bit expensive. Consult with our dentist for a detailed discussion of its advantages and risks.
