Tooth Bonding & Fillings

Fillings made of composites are used today more often than dental amalgam. The reason is that the teeth with composite fillings are healthier than ones with amalgam and at the same time more beautiful. Different shades of composite fillings allow us to restore your tooth so that it matches the rest of your teeth color. A good filling can last about 10 years.

In addition to caries, filling also can be used to solve non-caries lesions on teeth, that are a result of washing your teeth with a hard brush. These parts of the teeth need to be protected by composite filling, to prevent further loss of the tooth substance. Also, with a composite filling, it is possible to reduce the gap between two teeth, as well as to correct the whole surface of the teeth.
