A composite filling is popularly known as a resin filling. Since the colour matches the natural tooth colour, it is suitable for use in the anterior region. Composite aesthetic fillings are often the preferred type of filling for deformities, cavities, fractures and cracks. It is used after cleaning the damaged part of the tooth. It is also called aesthetic filling because it corrects the teeth aesthetically.

Aesthetic composite fillings require a high degree of precision and medical knowledge. Composite filling, which has the consistency of dough before application, is hardened with special beams after placement. After the composite filling is applied, there is a temporary hot-cold sensitivity during the acclimatisation phase. However, this condition passes within a few hours. It can easily be used for up to 10-15 years with good oral care. Because the bacteria in the mouth are reduced after a filling, risks such as caries and infections are also reduced.
