Tooth decay, fractures, or cosmetic imperfections… You don’t have to live with them anymore! Composite filling is a modern dental solution that restores your teeth with a natural appearance and long-lasting results. Its biggest advantage? No one can tell it’s there.

What Exactly Is a Composite Filling?

Composite filling is made from a mixture of plastic resin and finely ground glass particles. Unlike traditional metal (amalgam) fillings, composite materials are tooth-colored and blend perfectly with your natural teeth.

When Is Composite Filling Used?

• To treat cavities: After removing the decayed area, the dentist fills the cavity with composite material.

• For chipped or broken teeth: Composite is ideal for repairing minor fractures.

• For cosmetic enhancements: It can be used to reshape or whiten discolored teeth.

• To close gaps between teeth (diastema): Composite is a non-invasive way to achieve a fuller smile.

How Is a Composite Filling Applied?

1. The tooth is cleaned and any decay is removed.

2. A bonding agent is applied to help the filling adhere to the tooth.

3. The composite material is placed in layers.

4. Each layer is hardened using a special curing light.

5. The filling is shaped and polished to blend with your natural teeth.

💡 The entire process usually takes 20 to 40 minutes and you can return to normal eating the same day.

What Are the Advantages?

✅ Natural-looking results – blends with your teeth
✅ Minimally invasive – less tooth structure is removed
✅ Safe and metal-free
✅ Easily repairable if needed

How Long Does a Composite Filling Last?

With proper care, composite fillings can last 5 to 10 years or more. Regular dental checkups help ensure their longevity.
