What is a Composite Filling?

A composite filling is a tooth-colored dental filling made from a blend of resin and fine glass particles. It is used to repair cavities, cracks, or small fractures in teeth while maintaining a natural appearance. Composite fillings are bonded directly to the tooth, providing aesthetic and functional benefits by blending seamlessly with your natural enamel.

Composite vs. Amalgam Fillings: What’s the Difference?

  • Appearance – Composite fillings match the colour of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible, while amalgam fillings (silver fillings) are dark and noticeable.
  • Material – Composite fillings are made from resin and glass particles, while amalgam is a mixture of metals, including mercury, silver, tin, and copper.
  • Bonding Strength – Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, preserving more natural structure, whereas amalgam requires more removal of tooth structure to hold the filling in place.
  • Durability – Amalgam fillings are longer-lasting, especially in back teeth that endure heavy chewing forces. However, modern composite materials are highly durable and continue to improve.
  • Tooth Sensitivity – Composite fillings expand and contract less with temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracks compared to amalgam.

At Conway House Dental, we use high-quality composite resin fillings for a natural, strong, and minimally invasive solution to cavities and tooth damage. Contact us today to discuss your best option!
