A hand-held dental instrument for use in condensing and packing soft, composite filling material. The condenser includes resiliently pliable, bulbous tips of various diameters, having a pliable surface such as rubber or soft plastic that deforms under hand pressure and returns to its original shape upon removal of said pressure. The condenser enables a dentist, dental assistant or technician to condense efficiently and uniformly composite filling material into a prepared tooth cavity. The condenser is an improvement over the typical existing art, which comprises rigid metal, plastic or ceramic tips of relatively small diameter, designed for condensing silver amalgam filling material. The condensing instrument provides a solution to the problem of rigid tipped condensing instruments applying uneven pressure into the soft composite, pushing holes or air pockets into the material rather than condensing it.
