What’s the Procedure Like?
The composite filling procedure is straightforward and designed to be as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Preparation: After identifying the cavity, the affected area is cleaned, and any decay is carefully removed.
2. Application: A tooth-colored composite resin is applied in layers, ensuring it matches the natural shade of your tooth.
3. Bonding: Each layer is hardened using a special light, bonding the composite securely to the tooth.
4. Shaping and Polishing: Once the filling is in place, it is shaped to ensure a perfect fit and polished for a smooth, natural look.
The entire process is efficient, minimally invasive, and designed to restore your tooth’s function and appearance, often in just one visit.
