Affordable Dental Fillings
Dental Fillings are used to repair a cavity. To treat a cavity, a dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and then “fills” the area which has decayed. There are several materials that can be used to “fill” the affected area. If you would like to visit Crystal Dental for dental fillings in Los Angeles, request an appointment below.

What Else are Dental Fillings Used For?
- Dental fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth that have been worn down from misuse, such as teeth grinding or nail biting.
What are Composite Dental Fillings?
- Dental fillings can be made of one or more materials to help repair and restore teeth by simultaneously making you feel and look better.
Composite Resin Fillings
These fillings are white in color and can be made to match the color of your other teeth. Composite fillings are made of synthetic resins that are resistant to dehydration. They offer several advantages over traditional gold and amalgam fillings.

Advantages to Composite Fillings
- First and foremost is the aesthetic advantage. The shade and color of composite fillings can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth. For that reason, composite fillings are the best choice for use in front teeth and other visible parts of the mouth.
- A key advantage of composite fillings is that they bond chemically to the tooth structure, so they provide added support, help prevent breakage and insulate the tooth from excessive temperature changes.
Is a Composite Filling Right for me?
Several factors are used to determine the type of filling that works best for our patients. Some of these factors include:
- the location and extent of the tooth decay
- the cost of the filling material
- dental insurance coverage
- Our dentist’s recommendation
How to Prevent a Dental Filling
Ultimately, the best dental filling is no dental filling, so prevention is the best medicine. You can substantially decrease your risk of cavities and other dental diseases simply by:
- brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- flossing daily
- using a waterpik
- eating a balanced diet
- visiting the dentist regularly (2 dental checkups and cleanings a year are recommended by the American Dental Association)
