Composite Fillings and Restorations
What are composite resin fillings and restorations?
At Dentistry at Pelham Pointe, we use composite resin as a restorative (filling) material. We are a mercury-free practice.
Composite resin is designed for aesthetic dental restorations. Matching the shade of your natural teeth, composite resin is often used for filling dental cavities or for dental bonding of front teeth.
Composite resin consists of glass or quartz filler added to a resin medium, which produces a tooth-colored restoration. The invention of composite resin offers a substitute to amalgam dental fillings. This plastic and glass mixture contains no metal and can be shaped to resemble a real tooth. It is usually hard to tell that a tooth has even been filled!
