Tooth colored fillings also called composite resins can provide a decent durability and resistance to fracture teeth in small to midsize fillings that undergo constant stress of chewing . These white fillings can be used in the back or front of the mouth .
Best choice for those who like their teeth to look natural.
In general, it takes much longer to place a composite white filling than an amalgam. That is because these bonded fillings require a dry field while the cavity is being filled. Due to cosmetics, these fillings are being used more than gold or amalgam fillings.

Following preparation of the tooth, A dentist places the composite in small incremental layers, typically using a light specialized to harden each layer, called ultraviolet light. When the filling is finished, the dentist will shape and polish the composite to fit the tooth.
