Composites are the most frequently used tooth coloured filling materials.There are different shades available which helps in the selection of material which varies from person to person.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND BENEFITS OF COMPOSITE FILLING?


After we prepare your tooth, we will place the white filling material in thin layers to fill the hole in your tooth completely, and essentially rebuild the structure of your tooth. A special light is then used to set the white filling material, making it very hard and durable against normal biting forces. Lastly, the tooth is shaped and polished for a smooth finish, ensuring that it bites together correctly against the opposing teeth.
Composite resin fillings look completely natural and restore tooth functionality very effectively.
They are very durable and last up to 7-10 years with very good oral hygiene.

CAN I EAT EVERYTHING ON MY FILLING IMMEDIATELY?


You might experience minor sensitivity & discomfort in the initial 2-3 days but it adjusts soon. You can eat everything immediately if you have had composite restorations done.
