Long Description
Composite is a tooth-colored dental material commonly used for fillings, bonding, and cosmetic restorations. Made from a blend of resin and fine glass particles, composite matches the natural shade of teeth for a seamless appearance.
Composite is applied in layers and hardened using a special curing light. It's ideal for repairing small to moderate cavities, especially in visible areas like the front teeth. It’s also used for cosmetic enhancements like fixing chipped or misshapen teeth.
Though not as durable as amalgam in some back-tooth applications, composites are favored for their aesthetic appeal, adhesive qualities, and the ability to preserve more of the natural tooth during placement.
