How are composite fillings placed at Florence Family Dentistry?
Composite fillings are usually placed in one appointment. While the tooth is numb, your Dr. Covington will remove decay as necessary. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared before the new filling is placed. If the decay was near the nerve of the tooth, a special medication will be applied for added protection. The composite filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, restoring your tooth to its original shape and function.
