Composite Fillings in Palm Desert
Durable, Natural-Looking Repair
At Dell’Acqua Choi Dental Studio, we use composite (tooth-colored) fillings to restore decayed, chipped, or damaged teeth with a seamless, natural look. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings blend beautifully with your teeth, making them an excellent choice for both front and back teeth.
Why Choose Composite Fillings?
- Natural Appearance – Matches your tooth color for a seamless look.
- Strong & Durable – Withstands daily wear for long-lasting results.
- Minimally Invasive – Preserves more of your natural tooth structure.
- Safe & Mercury-Free – A biocompatible alternative to metal fillings.
When Are Composite Fillings Needed?
- Repairing cavities and tooth decay while maintaining tooth strength.
- Restoring chipped, cracked, or worn teeth for a smooth, even look.
- Closing small gaps for a uniform, confident smile.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Numbing & Preparation – The area is numbed, and decay or damage is removed.
- Filling Placement – The tooth is cleaned, prepped, and filled with composite material.
- Shaping & Polishing – The filling is shaped and polished for a natural finish.
Post-Treatment Sensitivity – Mild sensitivity to hot and cold may occur but will subside as your tooth adjusts. Most of our patients do not experience this due to our high-quality materials.
After treatment, we’ll provide care instructions to help extend the life of your filling. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, composite fillings will keep your smile healthy and strong for years.
