A composite build-up is a procedure that uses tooth-coloured resin material to rebuild teeth that have been significantly damaged by decay, fracture, or wear. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function before further treatment such as a crown.
At FG Cosmo Dental, composite build-ups are completed in a single visit using carefully matched material that blends naturally with your existing teeth. The result is a restored tooth that looks and functions as it should.
Don’t ignore the signs — early treatment is faster, simpler, and less costly.
A tooth that has fractured or chipped significantly may need rebuilding before any further restoration.
Extensive decay can destroy so much tooth structure that a simple filling is no longer sufficient.
Teeth weakened by past treatment, old fillings, or wear may need a build-up to restore their strength.
A build-up is often placed first to give the crown a solid, even foundation to bond to.

Composite material replaces the lost portion of the tooth, restoring its original shape and function.
The bonded composite adds structural support to teeth that have been weakened by damage or decay.
Material is closely matched to your natural tooth colour so the result is virtually invisible.
We remove only damaged material, keeping as much of the healthy natural tooth as possible.
Most build-ups are completed comfortably with local anaesthesia if needed, and require no recovery time.
Build-ups create a strong, stable base for crowns and other restorations, improving long-term outcomes.
We assess the tooth carefully and take X-rays to determine the extent of damage and the best approach.
The damaged area is cleaned and prepared so the composite material can bond securely to the tooth.
Tooth-coloured composite resin is applied in layers, each hardened with a curing light for maximum strength.
The build-up is shaped precisely to restore the tooth's natural form and polished to a smooth, natural finish.
