Composite Filling vs Traditional tooth Filling:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Composite fillings are tooth-colored and blend in naturally, while traditional silver fillings are more noticeable.
  • Durability: Both options are durable, but composites offer a strong, lasting solution with a more natural look.
  • Health Considerations: Composites are mercury-free, while traditional amalgam fillings contain mercury, which some patients prefer to avoid.

Composite fillings can last up to 10 years with proper care, including regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene.
