Dental Tooth Fillings

Over time, the structure of our teeth can become damaged due to exposure to certain foods and a lack of proper dental care. When this happens, the enamel begins to decay and patients can experience symptoms that include sensitivity to sweets or hot and cold food and drinks. Weakened enamel affects the structure of the teeth and ultimately leads to cavities.

Several types of materials can be used to fill the cavity including amalgam, a silver filling, or a composite material that matches the color of the tooth. We’ll discuss your options with you in detail, taking into account the location and size of the dental filling as well as your specific medical needs.

Drs. Michelle and James Grosleib aim to educate patients who have outdated dental fillings as well, as increased concerns about mercury are one of our highest priorities. At Valley Village Dental, we can remove old dental fillings and replace them with safe and durable materials that are completely metal-free.

Addressing tooth decay right away is essential to maintaining ideal oral health because if a cavity is left untreated, it can affect the root and create the need for more advanced procedures. Through regular visits, we can monitor any signs of tooth decay and also watch for indications of older fillings that are in need of replacement.

Your oral health is our top priority, and if we find that you’re in need of a dental filling, you can rest assured that the process will be comfortable from start to finish.
