Dental Fillings Before and After
Dental fillings can make a big difference in your smile. Before the filling, the tooth may have decay or cracks. After the filling, the tooth looks and feels natural again. Composite fillings match your tooth color, so they blend in perfectly. You’ll leave our clinic with a healthier, more confident smile.
What Is A Composite Filling?
A composite filling or tooth colored filling is successfully used in modern dentistry. Such fillings are an integral part in the treatment and restoration of a your teeth.
As composite fillings are tooth colored. They can be closely suited to the color of existing teeth. They are more aesthetically matched for use in front teeth or the more apparent areas of the teeth.
The Reasons for Composite (white) fillings are:
- Decayed teeth.
- Chipped teeth.
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Closing space between two teeth.
- Worn teeth.
Composite fillings are used to treat:
- Cavities
- Enamel erosion
- Wedge-shaped defects
- Injury of teeth
Composite seals are used for:
- Teeth color correction
- Fissure sealing
Do You Need a Composite (White) Filling?
If you have developed a small or medium-sized cavity, you will most likely require a filling. Cavities appear due to harmful deposits that destroy the enamel of the teeth and enter its interior, continuing to expand the destruction of the tooth. The cavity should be removed immediately. After the destruction of the hard tooth tissue, inflammation occurs. Therefore, the cavity should be removed as soon as possible and fill the hole that appears when removing the cavity.
Composite (White) Filling
Composite fillings are the most widely used today. A composite filling is a white filling. It is specific in its composition, which is suitable for sticking to the surface of the teeth. The composite filling provides communication with the tooth so effectively that there are no breakages. The power of composite fillings is much greater than the strength of the tooth. For this reason, it happens that the tooth itself breaks down, and the filling remains untouched.
Composite filling`s properties allow you to choose a filling that does not differ from the color of the adjacent teeth. Moreover, modern composites can serve as a material for sculpting the damaged part of the tooth after destruction. If you compare the composite with traditional filling materials, then with their help you can make a filling that no one will notice. Our dental office has the best dentist Dr. Sahakyan who perfectly performs his duties and cooperate perfectly with patients who need to remain calm and tolerant during treatment.
Composite Filling Materials
The composite material is made of glass and small pieces. They constitute 60-70% of the composition of the composite material. The remaining 30-40% is a composite. For a composite filling, softness is characteristic, which allows for the ideal placement of fillings in the tooth hole. To ensure that the composite filling becomes firm, ultraviolet rays are used. In our dental office, you can order a preventive dental examination, as well as a number of activities, if necessary. Call 1-818-578-2332 if you need a composite (white) filling.

Rest assured, our experienced dentists will make sure there is no pain involved when filling a tooth. Here is the procedure followed by our dentists in order to apply dental fillings:
- First things first: a local anesthetic is utilized to numb the area around the tooth which will be filled;
- An air abrasion tool, a drill or a laser is utilized to eliminate the decay;
- Probing or testing the area to ascertain if the whole decay has been eliminated;
- Preparation of the area for the filling by cleaning the cavity of debris and bacteria;
- In case the decay is located next to the tooth root, a liner made of glass ionomer, composite resin or some other material is put first in order to protect the nerve;
- The filling is placed;
