What is composite resin and when is it used?

Composite resin utilises modern adhesive techniques to restore the structural, biomechanical and aesthetic integrity of teeth by 'bonding' to the tooth surface. 

These fillings are tooth-coloured to match your smile, unlike silver amalgam fillings of the past. 

Composite restorations are used for a variety of purposes such as; 

- Small restorations

- Replacement of amalgam fillings

- Bonding to restore functionality i.e. due to chipping/fracture

- Veneer/covering of discoloured/mishapen teeth
