FILLINGS
Getting composite fillings
One of the best ways to restore decayed areas of the tooth is through dental fillings. Fillings made of composite resin have become quite popular recently because of all the advantages it offers. They are like dental cement, which functions as a restorative material to improve the aesthetics and functionality of your impacted tooth. Dr. Stella Gonzalez offers high quality dental fillings to all her patients. If you have a cavity in your teeth that needs restoration, do not delay in contacting us.
The composite filling procedure can be completed in one visit. Your dentist will numb the area with anesthesia so you will not feel any discomfort. For tooth decay, your dentist at Dr. Stella Gonzalez, will remove the decay, clean the area and then place the filling there. They would also shape and polish the filling to blend in with your natural teeth.
