Composite resin is used to restore teeth with tooth-colored fillings. Dental bonding, a cosmetic technique to mask small chips and cracks, also uses this putty-like material. Although it's most widely used for cosmetic purposes, it's also extremely flexible, making it an excellent option for replacing silver fillings.
Apart from silver fillings, which are made up of mercury, tin, nickel, and copper, the composite resin is made up of glass and plastic. Although their materials aren't as durable as metal, they can still restore teeth for long periods of time without having unwanted side effects.
