Why Milton patients ask about composite fillings
A composite filling is often the first repair considered for smaller tooth damage.
Patients from Milton may ask about composite because they want a repair that is not metal-colored or because a tooth feels rough.
We check whether the problem is limited enough for a filling and whether the bite will put heavy pressure on the repair.
When placed, the filling is shaped to restore form and polished so it feels natural.
