Composite tooth restoration

We restore a tooth's shape and function in a single visit - caries, a chip or a gap.

Composite restoration rebuilds a tooth with a modern light-cured material in a single visit. It removes caries, repairs a chip or closes a gap between teeth. We apply the material in layers that mimic natural structure - from opaque dentine to translucent enamel - so the filling is indistinguishable from the tooth. The approach is minimally invasive: we preserve as much healthy tissue as possible.

When to come

  • Caries or an old filling that needs replacing.
  • A chipped corner or edge of a tooth.
  • A small gap between front teeth.
  • A wedge-shaped defect near the gum.
  • A darkened or unsightly old restoration.

What's included

Examination and shade selection

We assess the work and match the composite shade against a guide under different lighting so the restoration is invisible.

Anaesthesia if needed

Surface restorations often need none; deeper ones are made comfortable.

Rubber dam isolation

A dry field guarantees a reliable bond between material and tooth.

Removing affected tissue

We remove only the carious tissue, preserving healthy enamel and dentine.

Layered composite application

We rebuild the tooth structure layer by layer for both strength and a natural look.

Shaping and polishing

We check the bite and polish the surface to match the lustre of adjacent teeth.

Why it matters

  • One visit and the tooth is restored in form and function.
  • Minimally invasive: we keep the maximum of your own tissue.
  • A natural look - the restoration is invisible even up close.
  • Easy to adjust or replace in future.

FAQ

How long does a composite restoration last?
With proper care 5–7 years or more; it is easy to re-polish or refresh.
Is the filling noticeable?
No. Layering and shade matching make it invisible, even on front teeth.
Composite or crown?
For minor damage, composite. When less than half the tooth remains, a crown is more reliable.
Is it painful?
Surface restorations are usually painless; deeper ones are done under anaesthesia.
How do I care for it?
Normal hygiene. Avoid biting hard objects with front teeth to protect the edge.

A small defect is best treated early - while it needs a filling, not a crown. Book an examination.
