Restorative

Composite
Filling.

A composite filling repairs a tooth affected by decay or minor damage using a tooth-colored resin, bonded directly to the remaining healthy structure — restoring strength and appearance in a single visit.

What It Is

A repair that disappears into your smile.

Unlike older silver amalgam fillings, composite resin is matched to your natural tooth shade and bonds directly to the tooth surface, meaning less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed to place it. This makes composite fillings a genuinely conservative option for treating cavities or repairing minor chips.

Because the material is applied in a soft state and hardened with a curing light, it can be shaped precisely to your tooth's natural contours before it sets — giving both a strong, functional repair and a result that's difficult to spot even up close.

Why You May Need This

Signs it's time
to get it checked.

A cavity spotted on X-ray or examSmall-to-moderate cavities are ideal candidates for a straightforward, single-visit composite filling.
Sensitivity to sweets or temperature in one toothLocalized sensitivity often points to decay that a filling can resolve before it progresses further.
A visible dark spot on a toothDiscoloration in the grooves or between teeth is a common early sign of decay.
Food repeatedly getting stuck in the same spotA cavity or a small gap between teeth often causes food lodgement — a filling that restores the proper contact point usually resolves it.
A small chip or crack from biting something hardMinor structural damage can often be repaired with bonded composite rather than a full crown.
An old, discolored silver filling you'd like replacedComposite can replace old amalgam fillings with a tooth-colored, less visible alternative.

The Process

What to expect,
step by step.

1

Diagnosis

Decay or damage is confirmed via exam and X-ray, and treatment is planned accordingly.

2

Local Anesthesia (If Needed)

The area is numbed for comfort if the cavity is close to the nerve or larger in size.

3

Removing Decay

Decayed tissue is carefully removed, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

4

Bonding the Composite

Tooth-colored resin is applied in layers, shaped, and hardened with a curing light.

5

Polishing & Bite Check

The filling is polished smooth and your bite is checked to ensure a comfortable, natural feel.

Common Questions

Answers before
you ask.

How long does a composite filling last?

Typically 5–10 years or more with good oral hygiene, depending on the filling's size and location.

Is getting a filling painful?

Local anesthesia is used when needed, so the procedure itself is comfortable; any post-procedure sensitivity is usually mild and short-lived.

Can composite match my exact tooth shade?

Yes — shade is selected and blended to match your natural tooth color closely before the filling is placed.
