YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Questions about tooth-colored fillings.

What are composite fillings?

They are tooth-colored restorations used to repair damaged or decayed areas of a tooth.

Are they the same as bonding?

Both use composite resin. Fillings primarily repair a damaged area, while bonding may also change the visible shape of a tooth.
