If you are conscious about your smile because of tooth decay, dark fillings or chips in your teeth, you may be a good candidate for tooth colored composite restorations. With no metal or mercury, our restorations are safe, strong, beautiful and long lasting. Composite restorations not only restore teeth to an attractive, healthy state but also have several other advantages over traditional silver or amalgam fillings.
Composite resins, being non-metallic in nature, allow us to seamlessly blend and customize shades, ensuring a precise color match with your natural teeth. This guarantees that only you and our skilled dentist will be aware of the dental restoration. Additionally, the bond between the tooth and composite not only enhances structural support for the remaining tooth but also acts as a barrier against potential damage and temperature fluctuations. With proper care, small to medium composites can provide lasting durability over several years.
Even with all of the modern advancements in dental composite technology, it is important to understand that this material does have its limitations. Composites, although an excellent choice for small to medium restorations, have a higher clinical failure rate when placed in large restorations or in teeth that have existing fractures. In such cases, Dr. Jai V. Patel, DDS and Dr. Rahil H. Patel, DDS recommend CEREC porcelain restorations.
