Dental Fillings in Los Angeles

High-Quality Dental Fillings in Los Angeles

Fillings for Healthy Teeth

Cavities and tooth decay can wreak havoc on your oral health if left untreated. Fillings help repair damaged teeth, prevent further deterioration and the need for more invasive procedures like root canals or extractions.

At Laser Dentistry, we offer advanced filling solutions to protect your teeth while looking natural. Our Los Angeles office uses the latest materials and techniques for long-lasting, comfortable restorations.

The Filling Process

Our gentle and minimally invasive filling approach follows a step by step process:

1. Decay Removal – The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed.
2. Cleaning & Preparation – The affected area is cleaned to remove bacteria.
3. Filling Application – The cavity is filled with biocompatible materials such as:
4. Composite resin – Tooth colored and blends in with natural enamel.
5. Porcelain – Durable and stain resistant, looks natural.
6. Gold fillings – Long lasting and resistant to wear.

The choice of filling material depends on extent of damage, tooth location and patient preference.

Mercury Free, Aesthetic Fillings

At Laser Dentistry, we prioritize safety and aesthetics by offering mercury free composite fillings. These tooth colored fillings:

• Blend naturally with surrounding teeth
• Do not contain harmful metals
• Provide durability and longevity similar to traditional amalgam fillings

If you need to replace old silver amalgam fillings, our team can safely remove and replace with modern biocompatible materials.

Advanced Treatment Options: Inlays and Onlays

Beyond fillings, we also offer inlays and onlays which provide:

• Greater durability than fillings
• A precise fit to restore function without extensive tooth removal
• A natural look with tooth colored materials

These are great for back teeth where decay is moderate but doesn’t need a full dental crown.

The Benefits of Fillings

Investing in high quality fillings prevents future dental problems and overall oral health. Benefits include:1. Prevents further decay – Seals cavities to stop bacteria from spreading.

2. Restores tooth strength – Reinforces weakened enamel and function.
3. Aesthetics – Modern materials look natural and seamless.
4. Less discomfort – Quick and minimally invasive with long lasting results.

Who needs fillings?

You may need a filling if you have:

• Tooth sensitivity when eating hot, cold or sweet foods
• Visible holes or dark spots on a tooth

Regular dental check ups allow us to catch cavities early and prevent more extensive treatment.
