What is involved in Esthetic Dental Filling (Light Cure Composite)?

Esthetic dental fillings using Light Cure Composite involve the application of a tooth-colored resin to fill cavities or correct imperfections in your teeth. This resin is carefully shaped to match the natural contours of your teeth and then hardened using a special light. The result is a strong, functional filling that blends in with your natural teeth for a seamless and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

During the procedure, a skilled dental professional will first clean and prepare the affected tooth. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, a tooth-colored composite resin is applied in layers and shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth. Each layer is hardened using a light cure, which ensures the material is set properly and provides long-lasting durability. The filling is then polished for a smooth, natural finish. This process restores both the function and appearance of your tooth, leaving you with a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
