Fillings
Years ago, the only option dentists had to restore a decayed or damaged tooth was a metal filling. Today, dentists can restore a decayed tooth using tooth-colored fillings, or composite resin, that is durable, stronger and aesthetically pleasing.
At our facility in Montebello, the dentists at Pacific Dental Group offer their patients tooth-colored fillings that have certain advantages:
- They are invisible and look better than traditional metal fillings
- They are a non-invasive treatment that minimizes the risk of fracture
- They bond directly to the tooth’s surface
- They contain no mercury, like traditional fillings and are environmentally friendly.
In order to place a filling, the doctor removes the decay from the tooth and then applies the resin. The resin matches the color of your teeth, making them a perfect restoration for front or visible teeth in the back of your mouth.
