Exploring the Benefits of Composite Fillings
Composite fillings stand out for their numerous benefits, prioritizing both the health and aesthetics of your smile. These fillings are crafted from a mixture designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth so that your dental work remains virtually invisible to others. Unlike metal fillings, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, reducing the risk of breakage and providing a more conservative treatment that preserves more of your natural tooth.
Furthermore, composite fillings do not contain mercury, making them a safer and more environmentally friendly option than their metal counterparts. The flexibility in the material also means that composite fillings respond more similarly to natural teeth when exposed to hot and cold temperatures, reducing the risk of fractures. By choosing composite fillings at Maniscalco Cosmetic & General Dentistry, you’re opting for a solution that not only looks better but also contributes to the overall strength and health of your teeth, enhancing your confidence every time you smile.
