 Composite restorations involve using tooth-colored composite resin materials to restore teeth affected by decay, fractures, or minor damage. These restorations blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing solution. 

1. Natural Appearance: The ability to match the color of the composite material to the natural tooth shade makes these restorations virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.
2. Conservative Approach: Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite restorations require less removal of the natural tooth structure, preserving more of the healthy tooth.
3. Versatility: Composite materials can be shaped and molded to achieve optimal tooth shape and contour, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
4. Bonding Strength: Composite resin bonds tightly to the tooth structure, providing added support and strength to the restored tooth.
5. Durability: When well-maintained, composite restorations can last for several years, providing long-term functionality and beauty.

1. Preparation: The dentist numbs the area and removes the decay or damaged portion of the tooth.
2. Composite Placement: The tooth-colored composite material is applied in layers, shaped, and hardened using a specialized light.
3. Shaping and Polishing: The dentist sculpts the composite material to match the natural tooth shape and polishes it to achieve a seamless finish.

• Practice good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing.
• Attend routine dental check-ups to ensure the longevity and maintenance of the composite restorations.
