Tooth decay is the most common obstacle to having a full and healthy smile. Fortunately, stopping it in its early stages is quick, painless, and consistently effective. That is where our treatments in Calabasas come into the picture. Using fillings, we can repair your tooth and protect it from the downsides of tooth decay.
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by the early stages of tooth decay. Namely, fillings do the work of filling in holes caused by tooth decay, which are known as cavities. It can be made of several different materials, but our composite fillings are the most popular because they match the natural color of your teeth. For most patients, the entire process is painless and quick, with benefits that can last for years.

Sometimes, it can be visibly obvious that you need a filling. If you have a tooth that is noticeably decayed or deformed, then it may be time for a filling (or even a root canal). However, many patients won’t notice the early signs of a cavity forming, as there are little to no symptoms in the first stages. This is part of what makes your routine dental visits so important. If you have regular dental exams, then your dentist can track any tooth decay and recommend treatment before it becomes a larger issue down the road. While cavities can start out painless, if the decay continues, your tooth could be put at risk. Permanent damage, infection, and tooth loss are some of the risks of untreated tooth decay.
The durability of dental fillings depends on two elements: how well your teeth are cared for and the materials used. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental visits, are the best ways to prolong the durability, regardless of their material. However, the total lifespan is closely tied to the material.
