Dental composite resins are types of synthetic resins which are used in dentistry as restorative material or adhesives.

She had been to three different dentists with her parents and no body would treat her. I offered an interim treatment with composite bonding that would allow her the dignity of a smile until she could proceed with her dentistry. This 12 year old girl suffered from a condition called Amelogenesis Imperfecta.

Today's composite resins have low polymerization shrinkage and low coefficients of thermal shrinkage, which allows them to be placed in bulk while maintaining good adaptation to cavity walls. The placement of composite requires meticulous attention to procedure or it may fail prematurely.

Dental composite resin. As with other composite materials, a dental composite typically consists of a resin-based oligomer matrix, such as a bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (BISGMA) or urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA), and an inorganic filler such as silicon dioxide (silica).

Porcelain veneers have several advantages compared to composite resin including: 1  Porcelain veneers are very durable. 2  Although porcelain veneers are very thin, usually between 0.5 – 0.7 millimeters and inherently brittle, once bonded to healthy tooth structure it becomes very strong.

Also, no dental filling lasts forever. Some studies show that composite fillings can be less durable and need to be replaced more often than amalgam fillings. It generally takes longer to place a composite filling than it does for a metal filling. That’s because composite fillings require the tooth be kept clean and dry while the cavity is being filled. Tooth-colored fillings are now used more often than amalgam or gold fillings, probably due to cosmetics. In a society focused on a white, bright smile, people tend to want fillings that blend with the natural color of their teeth. Ultimately, the best dental filling is no dental filling. Prevention is the best medicine.

Composite Fillings. Composite resins, or tooth-colored fillings, provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small-to mid-size fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing. They can be used on either front or back teeth.

Composite Resin Bonding Before and After Photos. When teeth have become eroded or have visible cavities, your dentist may recommend a composite resin bonding treatment. Best candidates for composite resin bonding have stained or decayed teeth. Take a look at these composite bonding before and after photos to see how this innovative dental procedure may help you. When you are ready to take that nexy step, please contact one of our doctors for a consultation.

Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers or composite veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored, translucent porcelain or composite resin, custom made to fit over teeth and improve their color, shape and overall appearance.

Composite resins are most commonly composed of Bis-GMA and other dimethacrylate monomers (TEGMA, UDMA, HDDMA), a filler material such as silica and in most current applications, a photoinitiator.
