Composite Resin
A restorative method that fills a decayed area with a material similar in color to the tooth.
After a small cavity is removed, the area is filled with tooth-colored composite resin for a natural-looking restoration. It can be completed in a single visit and requires less tooth reduction, but when the affected area is large, an inlay or crown may be more suitable.
