Fillings that are small to mid-sized and require moderate pressure resistance are filled with composite, or tooth-coloured, fillings. Both the front and back teeth can benefit from their use. They are a fantastic option for those who would want their fillings to appear natural.

The cost of composites exceeds that of amalgam fillings.

Cosmetics have led to an increase in the usage of tooth-coloured fillings relative to amalgam or gold fillings.
