What is "dental composite"?
Dental composite is a tooth-colored material used to fill cavities or repair damaged teeth. It is made from a mixture of plastic and glass, which can be shaped to match the natural appearance of the tooth. Composites are used to restore the tooth’s function and appearance while fitting in naturally with the surrounding teeth.
