Posterior composite restorations are an ideal solution for repairing teeth at the back of the mouth that have been affected by decay or damage. These restorations are made from a tooth-colored composite resin material that can be molded to match the shape of the original tooth, providing both functionality and aesthetics.

The procedure involves removing decayed or damaged tissue from the tooth and filling the cavity with the composite material. The material is then sculpted to match the natural contours of the tooth before being hardened using a curing light.

Posterior composite restorations are especially beneficial for individuals who want a more aesthetic solution to dental fillings, as the composite material blends well with the natural tooth color. It is also more conservative than amalgam fillings, preserving more natural tooth structure.

These restorations are durable, wear-resistant, and suitable for restoring molars and premolars, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results.
