Composite Fillings for Cavities

Composite fillings are more lasting and famous because of their aesthetics. They appear more natural because they can be adjusted to match your natural tooth color. Prestigious Smiles Family Dentistry is happy to answer any questions you may have, and we look forward to assisting your entire family during the process.

What Is Composite Filling?

Composite treatment is one way to deal with your tooth cavities. We restore your oral health by using composite resin material which is the most excellent replacement for old amalgam fillings. It is a tooth-colored material that blends with your tooth's color and gives you a natural appearance. 

Materials Used

Materials used in composite fillings have a variety of properties. They do not contain any harmful materials like metal or mercury; hence, they are safe to use.
