Composite Fillings in Los Angeles, CA
A healthy smile isn’t just about routine checkups—it’s also about addressing damaged teeth with precise, aesthetic solutions. At our Los Angeles dental practice, we use composite (tooth-colored) fillings to restore function and enhance your smile’s natural appearance.
What Is a Composite Filling?
Composite fillings are versatile restorations used to repair teeth affected by decay, chips, fractures, or wear. After comfortably numbing the tooth, we remove damaged areas, clean and prepare the surface, then place and cure a tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your natural enamel. We finish by shaping and polishing for a smooth, natural look and comfortable bite.
When Composite Fillings Are Ideal
- Chipped teeth: Restore shape and strength with a nearly invisible repair
- Small gaps: Close spaces for a more uniform smile
- Cracks and fractures: Prevent further damage with conservative reinforcement
- Tooth decay: Replace decayed areas while preserving healthy structure
- Worn edges: Rebuild enamel contours for better function and aesthetics
Why Choose Composite Over Metal?
- Natural look: Shade-matched to your teeth for a discreet result
- Conservative: Bonds to tooth structure, often requiring less removal
- Convenient: Many cases completed in a single visit
- Versatile: Effective for front and back teeth alike
What to Expect After Treatment
Mild sensitivity to hot or cold is normal and typically fades as your tooth adjusts. To maximize longevity, follow our care recommendations: brush twice daily, floss once a day, maintain a balanced diet, and keep regular dental visits. With proper care, composite restorations can serve you well for years.
