A tooth-coloured material
Composite is a resin used to restore selected front or back teeth. Its shade is chosen to blend with your smile. Treatment also aims to restore a shape compatible with chewing.

Do you have a cavity, a small chip or an existing filling that needs checking? Dr Houda Agunaou welcomes you to Horizon Center in Casablanca for an examination and a discussion of your options. When suitable, a composite restoration replaces missing tooth structure with a material close to the tooth’s natural colour.

YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
A full assessment,
clearly explained steps.
Treatment room 1 welcomes you for consultations and dental care.
Examination before restoration
Describe your symptoms, how the chip happened or how sensitivity has changed. Your dentist examines the tooth and decides whether an X-ray is useful. Diagnosis helps determine whether composite is sufficient or another treatment is needed. The plan and estimate are explained beforehand.
Preparing and rebuilding the tooth
Local anaesthesia is used when indicated. The area is prepared and isolated to allow bonding. Composite is placed, shaped and hardened using an appropriate light. The aim is to restore missing structure with regard to the tooth and its surroundings.
Checking the bite and planning follow-up
Finishing, polishing and checking how the teeth meet complete the procedure. Ask for instructions about eating and cleaning after your visit. Report persistent discomfort or a feeling that the tooth touches before the others, as a review may be needed.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Preparing your decision,
asking your questions.
Can composite treat every cavity?
No. The choice depends on the depth and extent of decay and the tooth’s condition. Deep decay may require other treatment. Assessment allows your dentist to explain what is indicated and which alternatives are possible.
Can a chipped tooth be repaired?
Some small areas of missing tooth structure can be restored with composite. The tooth first needs to be examined and the cause of the fracture assessed. Explain any injury or previous dental work; a consultation helps identify a suitable approach.
How does a filling differ from an inlay or onlay?
A direct composite filling is shaped on the tooth during treatment. An inlay or onlay is made separately and then attached to the tooth. The choice depends on the amount of missing structure and the restoration plan, not appearance alone.
How long does a composite filling last?
There is no single guaranteed lifespan for every tooth. The restoration is checked during reviews. Report a crack, chewing discomfort or a rough area that catches. Examination helps determine whether monitoring, adjustment or treatment is needed.
How should I care for a restored tooth?
Continue brushing with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between your teeth as advised by the practice. A restored tooth can still develop decay. Discuss eating habits and any tooth grinding at your appointments.
How much does a composite filling cost in Casablanca?
The estimate depends on the tooth involved, restoration size and associated care. For an examination with Dr Houda Agunaou at Horizon Center, City Office CFC, first floor, office A6, call 06 64 52 32 41 or contact the practice via WhatsApp.
