Understanding Composite Fillings

Composite fillings, also known as dental white fillings, are a significant advancement in restorative dentistry, made from a durable, tooth-colored resin meticulously matched to the shade of your existing teeth. At Dentistry on Ellesmere, our skilled dentists use these fillings to repair cavities, chips, and minor fractures with restorations that blend seamlessly with natural tooth structure. Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth enamel and dentin, creating a stronger, more supportive restoration while requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure, making it a more conservative treatment option. Additionally, the biocompatible nature of composite resin ensures it is a safe and well-tolerated material for our Scarborough patients.
