Composite fillings are normally used for cosmetic enhancements and for the repair and restoration of a damaged, repaired, fractured or decayed tooth. These composites can also be used as a restorative material or an adhesive in dentistry.

Composite fillings are made up of powdered glass and acrylic resin.

Anterior Composites

These are fillings which are done on the anterior teeth like the canines, the central and lateral incisors.

Procedure For Anterior Composite Filling

1. The decayed tooth is removed and cleaned
2. Special bonding agents are applied to the cavity; the bonds are responsible for binding the filling to the tooth structure
3. The dentist applies the filling to the prepared area and shapes it to match the natural shape of the tooth
4. A curing light is used to solidify the filing
5. The dentist polishes the cured tooth to make it smooth and to give it an appearance that look like the rest of the tooth

Posterior Composites

Unlike Anterior Composites, Posterior Composites are done on the posterior teeth like the molars and the premolars of both arches.

Procedure For Posterior Composite Filling

1. Just like in Anterior composite filling, the decayed tooth is removed and prepared
2. A bonding fluid is applied and used to attach the filing to the tooth structure
3. The dentist fills the cavity with the composite filling and shapes it to match the natural shape of the tooth
4. A curing light is used to strengthen the shaped composite filling. The filling is then smoothened, polished to give it a finished look.
