Dental Fillings in Beverly Hills

If you've ever winced while sipping something cold or felt a sudden jolt while biting down, a small cavity might be the culprit. At our Beverly Hills office, we believe that restoring your tooth shouldn't feel clinical. You should be able to restore your smile one tooth at a time.

A Dental Filling: What Is It?

Consider a dental filling like stuffing a little hole in your teeth. Daily behaviors such as eating, drinking, and even brushing might result in small weak points over time. A filling plugs such gaps, restores the tooth's natural shape, and prevents damage before it begins. It's a simple, effective approach that can save you from more significant problems later on.

Among the materials we provide are:

  • The easiest technique to blend in is to use tooth-colored composite, which makes it hard for others to see you've had work done.
  • Classic amalgam is known for its strength, and it is especially beneficial for back molars.
  • Porcelain is a popular material for exposed teeth because of its longevity and aesthetic appeal.
  • Gold is a high-end option that never tarnishes and may last for decades.

How Do You Know You Might Need One?

Your mouth provides hints, yet not all cavities are painful. Look out for the following:

  • A dull, persistent ache
  • Sudden sensitivity to temperature or sweetness.
  • A tooth's black hole, or region
  • When you rub your tongue over your teeth, it leaves a sharp edge.
  • Chewing discomfort

Benefits of Dental Fillings

Fillings prevent more significant issues than merely pain. Getting a filling straight away might help you avoid more expensive procedures later on. 

They also improve the eating experience and strengthen the chewing action.
They prevent further degeneration in the inner layers of your teeth.
They employ tooth-colored options to maintain your natural grin.
With proper care and regular dental checkups, they can last for years.

What the Process Looks Like

We retain comfort and simplicity:

  • X-rays and examination: We determine the issue.
  • Numbing the Area: During this step, local anesthetic is given that ensures a pain-free operation.
  • Decay Removal: The affected region is meticulously cleaned.
  • Filling application involves layering, molding, and polishing.
  • Final adjustments: We evaluate your bite to make sure it feels right.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Are Dental Fillings Performed?
The dentist numbs your tooth first. Then, he uses a drill to remove the decayed part. Following the cleaning, they fill the hole with filling material and shape it to match your tooth.
Can Fillings in Your Teeth Fall Out?
Dental fillings may ultimately fall out, especially if they are old or you bite down on something hard. In case your filling falls out, then you must visit your dentist immediately and get it replaced.
How do dental fillings appear?
Dental fillings occur in two colors: tooth-colored (white or cream) and silver-colored (metal).   When you smile, the tooth-colored ones become less obvious since they blend in with your natural teeth.
Are Dental Fillings Painful?
Getting a filling isn't painful because the dentist uses numbing medicine to make your tooth completely numb. You may feel some pressure, but no discomfort throughout the operation.
