About this treatment

When a tooth is affected by decay or minor damage, a filling restores its shape and function. Composite fillings are made from a tooth-coloured resin material chosen to blend with your natural teeth.

The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is removed, and the filling material is placed and shaped to fit comfortably with your bite.
