What Are The Disadvantages Composites? |
|
Answer» After receiving a COMPOSITE, a patient may experience postoperative sensitivity. Also, the shade of the composite can change slightly if the patient DRINKS tea, coffee or other staining foods. The dentist can put a CLEAR plastic coating over the composite to prevent the color from changing if a patient is particularly concerned about tooth color. Composites tend to wear out sooner than silver fillings in LARGER cavities, ALTHOUGH they hold up as well in small cavities.
