Dental Fillings La Verne, CA
Even with consistent brushing and flossing, it is possible to develop cavities. When detected and treated properly, cavities can often be addressed with convenient dental fillings.
What are Dental Fillings?
When you have a cavity, it means that a portion of your tooth has started to decay. Tooth decay can spread and potentially damage your tooth even further which is why it is important to address cavities quickly.
When you come to our office for cavity treatment, your dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth. Then, they will “fill” the empty space in your tooth with a tooth colored restoration. This helps ensure the integrity of the tooth, and allows you to resume normal chewing and eating.

Removal Of Decay
Next, a dental drill will be used to remove decayed enamel and damaged material from your tooth. Then, your dentist will clean and disinfect the area to prepare it for your filling.
Filling The Tooth
Your dentist will fill your tooth and restore its structure with the filling material. Once the tooth has been filled, the filling will be trimmed and adjusted to ensure it looks natural and feels comfortable.
