The features of composite fillings include:
1. Tooth-colored: They can be matched to the color of the surrounding teeth, making them blend in with the natural tooth.
2. Durable: Composite fillings can last for several years with proper care.
3. Versatile: They can be used for both cosmetic and functional purposes, such as repairing cavities or changing the shape or color of teeth.
4. Quick: The placement of composite fillings can usually be completed in a single dental visit.
5. Minimally invasive: Unlike other dental restorations, composite fillings do not require much of the healthy tooth to be removed.
6. Safe: Composite fillings are considered safe and do not contain any mercury.
7. Easy to repair: In the case of chipping or damage, composite fillings can be easily repaired or replaced.
