Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Really Better Than Metal Ones?
Tooth-colored fillings look natural, but their real benefit is how they bond to your tooth. Composite resin allows dentists to remove less healthy structure compared to older metal fillings. The process involves cleaning the cavity, placing the material in layers, and setting it with a curing light. This approach helps preserve your natural tooth while restoring strength and appearance. If you notice discoloration or damage in old fillings, it’s worth getting them checked.
