What is a Composite Filling?
Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorative materials used to repair decayed, fractured, or aesthetically damaged teeth. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings blend seamlessly with the natural tooth, providing both durability and a natural appearance.
For international patients, composite fillings are a quick, safe, and cost-effective way to restore teeth and improve smile aesthetics—all completed in a single appointment.
