We make sure you are feeling comfortable before numbing the affected area of your mouth using local anaesthetic. Once this has taken effect, we carefully remove the decayed part of your tooth before cleaning it thoroughly.
We apply an acidic gel to your tooth, which creates tiny holes to allow the composite material to bond to it and create an effective repair. This gel is then washed away, and your tooth is thoroughly dried.
We carefully colour match the composite material to the shade of your natural tooth, and apply it in layers, gradually building up the shape. We can mould the composite, so it fits perfectly in your tooth cavity and feels comfortable.
We harden the composite material using a UV light and give it a professional polish, so it looks and feels like a natural part of your tooth.

Many people choose a white filling over the more traditional silver amalgam for aesthetic reasons, as the composite blends into your natural tooth and can’t be seen once placed. A white dental filling has many of the same strong and durable qualities as amalgam and contains no metal.
