Filling

Tooth Coloured Filling – (Composite Filling)

A filling replaces part of a tooth that has been lost because of decay or accidental damage. A tooth coloured filling is carefully selected to match the original shade and shape of the tooth.
A filling will normally be carried out under local anesthetic. The affected area will be cleared of decay or loose filling, and prepared for the filling. Then the filling will be inserted and smoothed off before a bright light is applied to set the filling. The filling will then be trimmed off and polished.
