the dentist places the composite in layers, typically using a light specialized
to harden each layer. When the process is finished, the dentist will shape the
composite to fit the tooth. The dentist then polishes the composite to prevent
staining and early wear.

Advantages of
composites:
Aesthetics are the
main advantage of composites, since dentists can blend shades to create a color
nearly identical to that of the actual tooth. Composites bond to the tooth to
support the remaining tooth structure, which helps to prevent breakage and
insulate the tooth from excessive temperature changes.
Disadvantages of composites:
After receiving a
composite, a patient may experience postoperative sensitivity. Also, the shade
of the composite can change slightly if the patient drinks tea, coffee or other
staining foods. The dentist can put a clear plastic coating over the composite
to prevent the color from changing if a patient is particularly concerned about
tooth color.
