What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. When a cavity forms, it's important to remove the decayed portion and fill it to prevent further damage and restore full function to the tooth.

 

At Arcadia Medi-Dental Group, we offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth—so no one will even notice you’ve had dental work done.

Do I Need A Dental Filling?

Signs You or Your Child May Need a Filling

Cavities can often go unnoticed until they become more serious. Knowing what to look for can help you get ahead of tooth decay before it causes lasting damage. Common signs include:

​

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods

​

  • Persistent toothache or pain when biting

​

  • Visible pits or dark spots on teeth

​

  • Complaints from children about discomfort while eating

​

If you or your child are experiencing any of these symptoms, give our Arcadia dental office a call at (626) 515-8090 to schedule an exam.

What to Expect During Your Filling

Arcadia Medi-Dental Group is ready to care for you

Here’s what happens when you get a filling at Arcadia Medi-Dental Group:

​

  1. Comprehensive Dental Exam: We examine the tooth and take digital X-rays if needed to assess the extent of the decay.
     

  2. Gentle Numbing: We apply a local anesthetic to ensure you’re completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
     

  3. Tooth Preparation: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
     

  4. Filling Placement: A tooth-colored composite material is applied in layers, hardened with a special curing light.
     

  5. Shaping & Polishing: The filling is shaped and polished to match the natural contours of your tooth for a smooth, flawless finish.

​​

The entire process is quick and efficient, often completed in as little as 20 minutes. However, it's important to keep in mind that each case is unique, and the exact time may vary based on your specific needs.

Dental Fillings for Children

Gentle & Stress-Free

We take special care of our youngest patients. Many kids feel nervous about dental visits—especially if they’ve never had a cavity before. Our friendly team knows how to make kids feel comfortable while providing high-quality fillings in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

​

Preventative care is key, so we also encourage parents to bring their children in for regular cleanings and exams. Catching small cavities early means faster treatment and less discomfort for your child.

Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings

Unlike old-fashioned metal amalgam fillings, composite resin fillings offer multiple advantages:

​

  • Natural Appearance: Custom-matched to the color of your tooth for a seamless finish
     

  • Stronger Bonding: Composite materials bond directly to the tooth structure, providing excellent durability
     

  • Mercury-Free: No metal or mercury, making them safer and healthier for the whole family
     

  • Minimally Invasive: Less tooth structure is removed compared to metal fillings
     

  • Long-Lasting: With proper care, composite fillings can last many years

​

If you’re searching for natural-looking dental fillings in Arcadia, CA, we’re here to help you smile with confidence.
