Right for You
Porcelain vs. Composite: Which Restoration is Right for You?
Dental composites are ideal when there is less than one-third of the enamel damaged. Composite material bonds best when there is healthy, solid enamel to support it. Composite is a reliable option for smaller cavities or fractures. It blends with your natural tooth color and preserves as much of your original tooth structure as possible.
