Composite Fillings

We do not advocate the use of amalgam fillings; as such, our dental clinic in New Westminster uses only composite fillings, which are a tooth-coloured plastic and glass mixture to restore teeth. Because composite fillings are coloured, this helps the dentist closely match it to the colour of the existing teeth. This is more aesthetically suited for use, especially in the front teeth area. Although composite fillings are not permanent and someday may have to be replaced, they are durable and will last many years.
