Teeth decay
Tooth decay is a frequent chronic health issue. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid decay, and a dental filling is a cheap, safe, and natural-looking remedy for your damaged teeth. Our fillings at Song Cosmetic Dentistry at Beverly Hills are not only beautiful, but also firm and long-lasting.
Dental fillings are performed by dentists all around the world. Dedicated to providing safe and effective dental care, including white dental fillings, Beverly Hills dentist Dr. Song is proud to help patients restore their teeth. After the cavity is drilled or the bacteria is removed from the tooth, dental fillings are utilized to prevent further harm.
Our Song Cosmetic Dentistry specialists can fix cavities or replace old silver fillings with mercury-free tooth-colored fillings.
Tooth structure
If you have tooth pain, you may benefit from a filling. Sensitivity of teeth indicates deterioration or fracture. During your consultation, Dr. Song and her team will recommend the best dental treatment for your needs. We usually prescribe fillings for teeth with significant decay, cracks, chips, and cavities.
Fillings repair
Tooth structure can be lost owing to fracture or decay. To restore structure and function while retaining optimum esthetics, your cosmetic dentist will remove decaying and weakening areas of your tooth and replace them with fillings.
X-rays
X-rays or visual exams often discover decay inside a tooth before pain. It’s critical to stop degradation early and replace it with a filling. By the time you notice indications of decay, it has usually advanced and may require extra therapy.
Song Cosmetic Dentistry in Beverly Hills uses high-quality materials, innovative technology, and advanced techniques to make lifetime restorations for patients. Our aim is to provide effects that are virtually invisible. We utilize tooth-colored fillings to restore damaged, chipped, or cracked teeth.
Process
At Song Cosmetic Dentistry in Beverly Hills, we place composite resin dental fillings.
Cavity filling is a relatively easy operation that almost every adult you encounter has had. Almost 92% of people aged 20 to 64 have a permanent tooth cavity, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. If you feel you have a cavity, contact our Beverly Hills dentist right away so we can treat it with a white dental filling and avoid more harm.
When you come to our upscale Beverly Hills dental practice, we’ll employ cutting-edge laser equipment to find your cavity. Dr. Catharine Song employs laser light to precisely assess and repair tooth damage (depending on your situation, it may require a root canal or simply do the filling alone). To remove the decay and place the tooth-colored filling, we will apply a topical anesthetic. Dr. Song will confirm that the filling fits well and does not impact your bite before sending you home. The entire procedure takes less than an hour and does not interfere with your daily routine on the day of your appointment.
This is how it works:
- We maintain the tooth dry by removing saliva.
- The decay is eradicated.
- Etchant, bonding agent, then composite resin.
- Each layer of composite resin is hardened using a specific light.
- After filling, the composite resin is molded to look like a tooth.
- Lastly, the repair is polished to fit your bite.
Cost
The out of pocket price ranges from $350-690, depending on the extent of the filling needed. Today’s filler materials are diverse.
Composite Resin fillings
These are the most common amalgam replacement. Their color makes them known as “tooth-colored” or “white” fillings. Composite resin fills are acrylic resin with glass powder. To harden and adhere the soft substance to the tooth, composite resin is usually applied in layers and cured with “ultraviolet light.” Composite resin’s hue (shade) can be matched to adjacent teeth. Plastic and glass composite can be used to create a tooth. It’s hard to detect if a tooth is filled!
Porcelain Inlay / Onlay Fillings
Our lab creates durable inlays and onlays, when extensive tooth structure is damaged or missing.
