Light-cured fillings is one of the dental filling methods made from a tooth-coloured resin material. These fillings are hardened or "cured" using a special light, which activates the material and sets it into place. They are commonly used to repair cavities or minor tooth damage. This light-activation method ensures a quick and effective procedure with minimal discomfort.

Light-cured filling is popular due to its outcome, where it blends well with the colour of your teeth. Light-cured fillings are durable and long-lasting, making them an excellent choice for those who want a reliable, natural-looking result. The treatment method is also gentle on your teeth because they require less removal of the natural tooth structure compared to other fillings. This makes them a great option for people who want a minor fix for their tooth/teeth while maintaining the natural feature.

Light-cured fillings work by using a special tooth-coloured resin material that is applied to the cavity or damaged area of the tooth. The material remains soft and flexible for a short time after application. Once it is in place, a special ultraviolet light is used to "activate" the resin, causing it to harden quickly. This process makes the material strong and durable, allowing it to bond securely to the tooth. The result is a filling that not only restores the tooth’s function but also blends in with the natural colour of your teeth.

1. Consultation and examination of the teeth condition.
2. Anesthesia will be used to numb the area of the affected tooth and reduce the discomfort during the process.
3. After the affected area is numbed, the dentist will remove the decayed part using specialized dental tools.
4. A tooth-coloured resin material will be applied to the damaged area. During this time, the material is soft and moldable, which can be shaped to match the colour of your teeth.
5. The dentist will sculpt and shape the material. This process helps restore the function of the tooth. The dentist then will use a special dental light to harden the resin material.
6. Once the filling is sculpted, the dentist will polish it to make it smoother and have a natural final look.
7. After the procedure is complete, the dentist may check your bite to ensure proper alignment and whether it functions properly. They will also provide instructions for you to follow in order to care for your teeth after the treatment.
