Composite filling: how is the procedure done exactly?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several steps: After the decay is removed. Etch is placed and then rinsed. This helps the filling adhere to the tooth. I then place a desensitizer followed by a bonding agent(glue). I usually place two layers of bonding agent. I then use a flowable composite and a light cured composite. The filling should then be adjusted to your bite and polished.

Composite filling: 1. A drill or laser is used to remove the decayed part of the tooth. 2. The soft composite is placed to cover the cavity. 3. A white light is used to harden the composite. 4. The bill is sent to you or to your insurance.
