Composite Fillings

Composite fillings bond directly to your tooth, which results in less invasive tooth removal. Silver, or amalgam, fillings require additional drilling to provide anchors for the solid amalgam. Composite fillings are not as rigid and inflexible as amalgam fillings, which means stresses caused by biting and chewing can be distributed more naturally and reduce the risk of your tooth cracking.
