 Until recently, dentists filled and sealed cavities almost exclusively using silver or mercury amalgam. Unfortunately, these fillings (or restorations) were unaesthetic and often weakened teeth. They would expand and contract slightly more than a natural tooth, usually unbonded and requiring large amounts of the original tooth to be removed.
Modern dentistry has increasingly turned to composite restorative materials as a strong, safe and more natural looking alternatives. Composite fillings utilise a soft, white plastic substance that upon exposure to a concentrated light source would set hard. With the improved generations of bonding agents – minimal tooth structure removal is required. The result is a white filling that has strength, resilience and a wonderful aesthetic look. |
