Composite Fillings in Tijuana

Understanding Composite Fillings

Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are a popular restorative dental option used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or fractures. The material used for composite fillings closely resembles the natural color of your teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your natural tooth enamel.

The old type of silver amalgam fillings is no longer used these days. The reason is that amalgam not only looks bad, leaving black spots on your teeth, but because one of the components in amalgam is a toxin, called mercury. Although the levels of mercury are very low, most people are health conscious and are afraid of mercury leaching into their blood system. 

The Benefits of Composite Fillings

Aesthetics: Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a natural and attractive appearance.

Preservation of Tooth Structure: Composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional amalgam fillings.

Versatility: Composite fillings can be used for both front and back teeth, addressing a wide range of dental issues.

Bonding Strength: Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, enhancing its overall strength and preventing further damage.

Durability: With proper oral care, composite fillings can last for many years, providing long-term restoration for your teeth.
