A composite restoration involves shaping tooth-coloured composite material applied directly to the tooth. In most cases it is completed in a single session and can be renewed when required. It can be applied to more than one tooth in the same appointment. Since composite material may become discoloured over time, it may need to be renewed at certain intervals; this period varies according to the oral care and habits of the patient.
