Composite Restorations

Composite restorations are simply using white filling materials placed directly in your mouth to build up the natural contours and bite of your teeth according to a diagnostic wax-up (plan of the final result). If your bite has collapsed, or if your existing teeth need modification (closing spaces or shape) then composite restorations may be suitable for you.

If only your front teeth have worn because of grinding or erosion, then we may need to correct your bite at the front only. Carefully record taking and planning is needed for these types of procedures just like an architect would carefully plan a renovation of you house before starting.

Great care in their placement is also required as these restorations are bonded/glued in place.
