Composite bonding materials are used to replace old unattractive fillings, change the color of your teeth, or reshape and recontour a less-than-ideal smile. As shown in this photograph of work by Dr. Mavrostomos, it can also be used for major repairs of anterior teeth. Composite resin is a tooth-colored plastic mixture reinforced with glass or silica particles. Composite fillings have a slightly higher rate of wear than your traditional silver fillings.
