Have a toothache and think you might need dental filling? No worries \u2014 dealing with cavities has been pain-free for decades, so don\u2019t delay your treatment. Cavities only get worse, never better and fillings are a simple and easy way to prevent further decay. A dental filling is a type of tooth restoration that is used to fix minor to moderate tooth damage.<\/p>\n
If a tooth has been compromised by decay or has slight fracture or chip, we may suggest a filling. Dental fillings are used to return your smile to good health by restoring the tooth’s original form and function. Amalgam fillings and composite fillings are the two most common types of dental fillings. A single visit to our office is all that is required to place a dental filling. <\/p>\n
The filling material is applied to the area on the affected tooth and shaped to match the form of your tooth. Finally, our dentists harden the filling for a long-lasting restoration. A dental filling may be a good option for restoring your oral health and function if one of your teeth is decayed or broken.If you think you are in need of a dental filling, don’t wait for the issue to worsen! Call our office right away to be seen right away.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Silver dental amalgam fillings are a mix of mercury, silver, copper, tin, and zinc. They have the unique property that they can be packed into an opening cleaned of decay, which then becomes solid and durable.<\/p> In recent years, many people have become concerned about the possibility of mercury poisoning. Numerous studies have shown that this is not a significant risk, but we are happy to provide patients with alternatives. A dental amalgam filling is less expensive but is far more noticeable than other filling materials.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Also called inlays or onlays depending on the surfaces involved, they are custom-made in a lab and then bonded to your tooth. By matching your natural tooth color, they go completely unnoticed and require two office visits. These restorations are for larger areas of decay, but are just as sturdy and long lasting.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We have been serving the Los Angeles community for almost 40 years since 1980 and have treated over 200,000 patient visits.
