When it comes to dental restorations, two of the most common options are composite and ceramic restorations.
These two types of restorations have distinct differences that can affect their suitability for different dental needs.
4 Key Differences Between Composite and Ceramic Restorations
1. Materials Used
Composite restorations are made from a resin binder and ceramic filler.
Ceramic restorations, on the other hand, are made from various types of ceramics, such as porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-ceramic crowns.
2. Durability and Longevity
Composite restorations offer superior aesthetics but lack longevity and durability, especially in posterior restorations.
Ceramic restorations provide excellent aesthetics and long-lasting results, making them a durable option for dental restorations.
3. Aesthetics
Composite restorations can closely replicate the natural look and color of a tooth, providing excellent aesthetic properties.
Ceramic restorations also offer excellent aesthetics, ensuring a natural look that can last for many years.
4. Cost
Composite restorations are generally less expensive than ceramic restorations.
Ceramic restorations, while more expensive, offer a higher level of durability and longevity.
