Restore Your Smile with Expert Dental Fillings
At Smile LA Downtown Modern Dentistry, we offer high-quality dental fillings to restore teeth affected by decay, wear, or minor damage. Whether you’re dealing with a cavity, a cracked tooth, or worn enamel, our goal is to restore your tooth’s shape, function, and appearance—while preventing further issues from developing.
Before you choose a filling, it’s important to understand the different types of materials available. Our experienced team will walk you through your options during your consultation to ensure the best fit for your needs and lifestyle.
Types of Dental Fillings We Offer
We provide a variety of dental filling materials, each selected based on your unique dental condition and cosmetic goals:
Porcelain Fillings
Porcelain is ideal for inlays and onlays. These fillings are custom-matched to your natural tooth color and are highly resistant to staining. While porcelain offers outstanding aesthetics, it’s typically more costly than other options.
Composite Resin Fillings
Composite resin is a popular choice for patients seeking a tooth-colored, discreet restoration. We often use this material for small to mid-sized cavities, especially in visible areas of your mouth. Though not as durable as other materials, composite is ideal for preserving a natural look.
Silver Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam is a long-standing, cost-effective option known for its strength and longevity. However, due to its metallic color, some patients opt for more aesthetic alternatives.
Gold Fillings
Gold is one of the most durable filling materials available and is highly compatible with gum tissue. While more expensive than other options, many patients value its resilience and long-term performance.
What to Expect During Your Filling Appointment
Your comfort is our top priority. During your visit, our team will carefully numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure a painless experience. Once you’re comfortable, we’ll remove any decay using precise techniques, including advanced laser technology when appropriate.
After cleaning the area, we’ll prepare the tooth for the filling. If the cavity is deep or near the tooth’s nerve, a protective liner may be placed before the final filling material is added. The exact steps may vary slightly depending on the material chosen.
Why Timely Dental Fillings Matter
Delaying treatment for cavities can lead to more serious dental issues, including infection, nerve damage, or the need for root canal therapy. Cavities create openings in your tooth enamel that allow harmful bacteria to enter and spread. Receiving a filling early helps preserve your natural tooth and prevent further damage.
