Examination & X-Ray
Your dentist examines the affected tooth and takes a digital X-ray to assess the depth of decay and confirm the health of the surrounding nerve and bone. This ensures the correct treatment plan before any procedure begins.

What Is a Composite Filling?
A composite filling — also called a tooth-coloured filling — is a modern dental restoration made from a blend of resin and fine ceramic particles. It is used to repair teeth affected by decay (cavities), chips, cracks, or minor fractures.
Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite resin is shade-matched to your natural tooth colour, making the restoration virtually invisible. The material bonds directly to the tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy enamel and preserving more of your natural tooth. At DentoCorrect, we use only mercury-free composite materials that meet international safety standards — the same standards upheld across our ISO-certified clinics in 7 cities.
When Do You Need a Composite Filling
Many patients visit DentoCorrect Clinic after noticing one or more of the following:
Toothache or persistent throbbing pain in a specific tooth
Sharp sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks
Visible pit, hole, or dark discolouration on the tooth surface
Food repeatedly getting stuck in the same spot between teeth
A rough or jagged edge you can feel with your tongue
A previous filling that has cracked, fallen out, or feels loose

Composite Filling Procedure
At DentoCorrect, a composite filling is typically completed in a single visit of 45–60 minutes. Here is what happens during your appointment:
02
Local Anaesthesia
A topical numbing gel is applied to the gum first, followed by a gentle local anaesthetic injection. This completely numbs the area so you feel no pain during the procedure — only mild pressure at most. The numbness typically lasts 1–2 hours after the appointment.
03
Decay Removal
Using precision dental instruments, your dentist removes only the decayed or damaged tooth structure. Our conservative approach means we remove as little healthy tooth as possible — protecting your tooth’s long-term strength.
04
Shade Matching
Before placing the filling, your dentist uses a shade guide under clinical lighting to select the composite resin colour that most closely matches your surrounding natural teeth. This step is what makes the final result virtually invisible.
05
Composite Placement & Bonding
The cleaned cavity is treated with a bonding agent, and the composite resin is applied in thin, controlled layers. Each layer is precisely shaped to restore the natural contours of the tooth.
06
Shaping, Bite Check & Polishing
Once fully set, the filling is trimmed and shaped to fit your natural bite. Your dentist will ask you to bite down on special paper to check alignment, making adjustments until the bite feels completely comfortable. The surface is then polished to a smooth, natural finish.

Composite Filling Aftercare
A composite filling hardens completely the moment you leave our clinic — there is no extended setting time. However, following these aftercare guidelines will help protect your new restoration and prevent sensitivity:
Immediately After (0–2 Hours)
- Do not eat or chew on the treated side until the anaesthetic has fully worn off (1–2 hours) — you risk biting your cheek or lip without realising
- Avoid pressing your tongue repeatedly against the filling — this is a normal reflex but can feel unusual initially
- Avoid very hot drinks until sensation returns to normal
First 24 Hours
- Eat soft foods if the tooth feels tender — yogurt, soup, rice, and dal are fine choices
- Avoid very hard, crunchy foods (ice, nuts, raw carrots) on the filled tooth for the first day
- Avoid sticky or chewy sweets and foods that could dislodge the filling
Long-Term Care
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
- Floss daily — gently around the filled tooth to prevent new decay forming at the margins
- Avoid biting fingernails, pens, or chewing ice — these habits can chip composite resin
- Attend your 6-monthly check-up at DentoCorrect so your dentist can monitor the filling’s condition
- If you grind your teeth at night (bruxism), ask your dentist about a night guard — grinding can significantly shorten the lifespan of a filling
