Composite (White) Fillings

For patients with teeth that have been affected by cracked, fractured, or decayed, Pleasanton Family and Cosmetic Dentistry offers composite (tooth-colored) dental fillings. In just one appointment, the portion of your tooth that has become compromised will be removed and the rest of your tooth will be cleaned and filled. Our composite fillings are closely matched to the color of your existing teeth in order to enhance the beauty and function of your smile.

Procedure

One of our experienced dentists will place your composite filling in one appointment. When your tooth is being prepared for the filling, the doctor will remove all present tooth decay and then clean your tooth thoroughly. Medication may be applied to the tooth for your protection if the decay was close to the tooth’s nerve. Once your tooth has been prepared, the doctor will precisely place, shape, and polish your composite filling.

After receiving your new composite filling, our dentist will give you instructions regarding the care and maintenance of your dental restoration. It is normal to feel sensitivity in the filling immediately after the treatment, and the doctor will let you know how to deal with it. Please give Pleasanton Family and Cosmetic Dentistry a call today to receive the restorative dental treatments you need for a healthy, beautiful smile.
