Dental Fillings in Anaheim
Dental Fillings - The Procedure
There are multiple types of dental fillings using different materials. Over our lifetime, some of those original fillings may need replacement due to teeth wear or damage. We offer several filling replacement options which can include either silver or gold metal fillings or white “invisible fillings” that maximize your smile quality and brightness.
Dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat cavities or tooth decay. Fillings are used in order to prevent minor decay from rapidly spreading bacteria into the tooth’s pulp.
You may need a filling for any of the following reasons:
- You have chipped teeth.
- There is space between two teeth.
- Cracked/broken teeth.
- Decayed or worn teeth.
Dental Fillings - The Procedure
The procedure itself takes up to an hour, which makes it relatively quick. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area so that you are comfortable throughout the process. The filling is placed specifically to the shape and function of your tooth.
