Composite Fillings

A substantial benefit of choosing a white filling restoration is that composite fillings require less natural tooth structure to be removed when preparing your tooth, thus enabling a smaller filling than if an amalgam filling were placed.

The tooth is prepared by removing all the decay and then treated with a special solution to make the surface slightly rough, which will ensure a stronger bond between the composite material and enamel is achieved.

The composite filling is placed in thin layers and sculpted to the form and shape required; a specially developed curing light hardens each layer before the next one is applied. Once the desired shape is achieved, it is polished to a tooth-like lustre.
