Composite Fillings

A composite filling is a tooth-coloured restoration used for decay or limited tissue loss. Tooth shape and function are restored according to the extent of the defect.

Treatment process

After necessary preparation, composite is placed and shaped. Contacts and bite are checked. A different restoration may be more appropriate for extensive tissue loss.

Care and follow-up

Filling margins and tooth health are reviewed. Daily oral care remains important to reduce the risk of further decay.

Preparing for your first visit

  1. Discussion of your concern and medical history.
  2. Clinical examination and appropriate diagnostic records.
  3. Review of alternatives, treatment stages and maintenance needs.
Suitability is determined at clinical assessment. Medical history, medication, existing tissues and expectations may influence the plan. Duration, appointments, fees and possible risks are discussed after individual evaluation.
