Why Fergus patients ask about composite fillings
Composite fillings can restore a tooth without covering more of it than needed.
Patients from Fergus may need a filling because decay was found early or because a small edge has chipped.
We check the size and location of the problem before deciding whether composite is strong enough for that tooth.
After placement, the filling is polished and adjusted so it does not interfere with chewing.

Diagnosis and shade planning
We examine the tooth, review x-rays when needed, and choose a composite shade that blends with the surrounding tooth.
Prepare the tooth
Decay, rough edges, or damaged filling material are removed, and the tooth is prepared for bonding.
Place the composite
Tooth-colored material is bonded in layers, shaped to restore the missing area, and hardened.
Polish and check the bite
