Ask About Tooth-Colored Filling Options

If you need a filling or have questions about your options, Mission Dental Group can assess your tooth and explain the available materials. Our dentists provide mercury-free filling options, including tooth-colored composite resin, for patients in Los Angeles and Downey.

Request an appointment to discuss your needs and whether a composite filling may be appropriate for your tooth.

What Does Mercury-Free Dentistry Mean?

Mercury-free dentistry means using filling materials that do not contain mercury. Composite resin is a tooth-colored material that may be used to repair certain cavities. The right material depends on the tooth, the location and size of the damaged area, and your oral health.

Choosing a Filling Material

During your examination, your dentist will evaluate the tooth and explain suitable treatment options. Composite resin can be matched to the color of your tooth, which may be a consideration for visible areas. Your dentist can also discuss the benefits and limitations of the recommended material for your situation.

Questions About Existing Silver Fillings

If you have an existing silver-colored filling, ask your dentist to examine it and discuss its condition. Whether a filling should be repaired or replaced depends on the tooth and restoration. Your dentist can explain the options before you make a decision.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your appointment begins with an evaluation of the tooth and a discussion of your concerns. If a filling is recommended, your dentist will explain the procedure and material options. After treatment, follow the care instructions provided by the dental team and keep up with regular dental visits.
