Dental composites can be used for: - Filling gaps (diastemas) between teeth using a shell-like veneer
- Minor reshaping of teeth
- Partial crowns on single teeth
The main advantage of a dental composite over traditional materials such as amalgam is improved aesthetics. Composites can be made in a wide range of tooth colors allowing near invisible restoration of teeth. Composites are glued into teeth and this strengthens the tooth's structure.
