What are aesthetic composite resin restorations?Aesthetic composite resin restorations are a versatile dental treatment option used to restore the structure of damaged teeth and make minor cosmetic improvements to the smile.
Aesthetic composite resin restorations, often called ‘tooth-coloured fillings’, are a modern dental solution for repairing teeth affected by issues like decay, chips, fractures, or loss of structure due to wear or erosion. These restorations can also be used for cosmetic enhancements, such as composite build-ups or veneers.
Unlike porcelain, composite resin offers a conservative approach to addressing mild cosmetic concerns and improving smiles without irreversible alterations to the natural tooth structure.Aesthetic composite restorations help with addressing issues such as:
• Restoring cavities and decay
• Minor spacing or gaps between teeth
• Aesthetic imperfections
• Reshaping teeth
• Irregularities and colour discrepancies
Composite resin is a versatile material that can be shaped, layered, and moulded to achieve natural tooth contours, making it suitable for repairing or enhancing all areas of the mouth.
