Composite restorations are used for all simple restorations, or fillings, that are placed by Dr. Kapp. We do not use any amalgam, or silver alloy, restorations within our practice. Composite restorations can also be used cosmetically to improve the appearance of your teeth and enhance your smile. This procedure involves bonding a composite resin to an existing tooth. Unlike veneers or crowns, resin bonding removes little, if any, of the original tooth.
Composite restorations have many advantages, including:
- They come in many different shades and provide better matching of shades to the natural color of your teeth.
- High bonding strength, to prolong the life of the restoration.
- Contains no mercury
