They use (I believe) a special type of light that reacts with the filling agent. There is a thin piece of ‘molding’ that they slide in between teeth, it keeps the agent in place long enough to harden with a light. Then sand/buff it to the right shape. I had some done and they did a lot of work with very tiny strips of what amounted to sandpaper between the teeth to finish the filling off.
