Unlike traditional amalgam fillings that use a mix of metals including mercury, composite fillings are made from a blend of plastic and fine glass particles. This material is directly bonded to the tooth, allowing for minimal removal of healthy enamel and creating a strong, long-lasting restoration. Composite resin is BPA-free and mercury-free, making it a biocompatible choice for patients seeking healthier alternatives. Whether you're addressing cavities in the front or back teeth, tooth colored fillings offer a versatile, natural-looking solution that supports both cosmetic and functional goals.
