Normally, composite fillings are placed in your teeth in a single appointment. While the tooth is without sensation, the dentist shall eradicate decay as needed. The gap will be systematically sanitized and methodically set prior to the placement of the new filling.

The composite filling will subsequently be positioned, formed, and refined, bring back the original figure and capacity of your tooth.
