Can composite fillings repair chips in front teeth?
Yes. Composite restorations are commonly used to repair small chips on front teeth because they can closely match natural tooth color.
Are composite fillings strong enough for cracked teeth?
They can be effective for certain minor cracks. Larger or deeper fractures may require alternative treatment.
Do composite fillings look natural?
Yes. Modern composite materials are designed to blend with surrounding tooth structure.
How soon can I eat after a composite filling?
Most patients can resume normal eating shortly after treatment, although your dentist may provide specific instructions.
When is a crown better than a composite filling?
A crown may be recommended when a tooth has extensive structural damage or cannot be predictably restored with a direct filling.
