Why St. Jacobs patients ask about composite fillings
A filling can restore form and seal the tooth when the damage is limited.
Patients from St. Jacobs may come in because a tooth feels rough, a filling is wearing down, or an exam shows a cavity.
We look at the tooth's structure and bite pressure before deciding whether composite is the best repair.
When it is, the filling is bonded and shaped so it blends with the tooth and feels smooth.

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.
