Composite Resin (tooth colored fillings) have been around since the 1960's. However, these early forms of composite resin fillings were not as durable, or for that matter as decay resistant as the products that we have today.

Composite Resins can be used to fix a broken or chipped tooth, repair a small or large area of decay, or to bond bridges and veneers to your existing teeth.

Composite Resins look far better than the amalgam, or silver fillings that Dentists used to place. At that time, they were the product of choice due to durability, however the composites that we have today are just as durable in a lot of situations.
