Our process
The process of placing composite fillings involves the following steps:
- Tooth Preparation: Our dentist will begin by removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, creating a clean and prepared area for the filling.
- Tooth Etching and Bonding: The tooth surface is etched with a mild acidic solution to create microscopic grooves that enhance the bond between the tooth and the composite material. A bonding agent is then applied to the tooth, which acts as a strong adhesive between the filling and the tooth structure.
- Composite Placement: The composite resin, which is in a soft and moldable form, is carefully applied in layers to the prepared tooth. Each layer is hardened with a special curing light before adding the next layer. This incremental layering allows for precise shaping and ensures maximum strength and durability.
- Shaping and Polishing: Once the desired shape and contour of the filling are achieved, our dentist will trim and shape the composite material to match the natural tooth structure. The filling is then polished to provide a smooth and glossy surface, blending seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
