Understanding Your Treatment
What Are Dental Fillings?
A tooth-colored filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay and restores its shape, strength, and function. Your dentist removes the decayed area, then rebuilds the space with a composite resin bonded to what is left of the tooth. Modern composite fillings are strong, natural-looking, and free of metal. The process is quick, comfortable, and usually finished in a single visit.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Dental Fillings
Keeps your own tooth
A filling repairs the tooth you already have, rather than replacing it, when the damage is limited enough.
Matched to your tooth color
Composite fillings are shaded to sit alongside your natural enamel.
Restores normal chewing
Once the filling is shaped and the bite checked, the tooth can be used normally again.
The Process
Our Step-by-Step Process
Here is what each stage of treatment usually involves. Your dentist will talk you through anything that differs in your case.
Request an Appointment- 01
Tooth Preparation
The area around the tooth is numbed before anything else happens.
- 02
Decay Removal
Your dentist carefully removes the decayed portion of the tooth.
- 03
Filling Placement
We apply the tooth-colored composite material in layers, shaping it to match your natural tooth structure.
- 04
Polishing
The filling is hardened with a curing light, then smoothed and polished, and your bite is checked before you leave.
Is It Right for You?
Signs You May Need Dental Fillings
-
Cavity Treatment — Dental fillings are primarily used to treat cavities caused by bacterial decay, preventing further damage to the tooth structure.
-
Tooth Preservation — Only the decayed part is removed, so as much of the healthy tooth as possible stays where it is.
-
Long-lasting Solution — A filling is meant for long-term use. How long yours lasts depends on its size, where it sits in the bite, and day-to-day cleaning.
-
Cosmetic Enhancement — Composite is shaded to your own enamel, so a repaired tooth does not stand out the way an old metal filling does.

Dr. Koushyar and his team are truly exceptional! After being told I needed multiple crowns by another dentist, I was relieved to get a second opinion from Dr. Koushyar. He thoroughly examined my teeth and determined that I only needed a few simple fillings. The entire experience was fantastic. Dr. Koushyar was gentle and explained everything clearly, and the team was incredibly friendly and caring. If you're looking for an honest, skilled, and compassionate dentist, look no further!

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers
Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (951) 609-0445.
Does it hurt to get a filling?
No. We use effective numbing medications so that you don't feel any discomfort during your treatment.
How long do dental fillings last?
A well-maintained dental filling can last 10-20 years with good oral hygiene.
Can I eat and drink normally after getting a dental filling?
Yes, you can eat and drink normally after a dental filling. The general rule of thumb is to avoid hot or cold food and drinks immediately after.
How do I care for a filling?
Plan to brush and floss around all of your teeth, especially the ones with existing dental fillings. This will help prevent recurrent decay from developing around your new restorations. Also, be sure to plan a checkup with our dentist at least twice a year.
What are dental fillings made of?
Composite (White) Fillings: These tooth-colored fillings are the least invasive type of restoration available. The white material bonds closely with your tooth enamel, minimizing how much tooth structure is altered during the restorative process. Because composite is available in a variety of shades, we can select a color that blends in with your natural tooth enamel. Amalgam (Silver) Fillings: Traditional amalgam fillings are best for scenarios involving large cavities or teeth that are difficult to keep dry during the treatment process. They are the least costly option for dental fillings. However, their silver color can interfere with your smile. Indirect Porcelain Fillings (Inlays/Onlays): Crafted in a dental laboratory, these fillings are made from high-quality ceramic material.
How much do dental fillings cost?
The price of a dental filling will depend on the size of the restoration, the number of tooth surfaces involved, and the type of filling you're getting (amalgam vs. composite.) On average, the typical dental filling costs between $150-$300. Most patients are also able to use their dental insurance benefits toward the cost of their procedure, reducing out-of-pocket expenses. Our dentist also offers flexible payment options to finance all or a portion of your dental filling treatment.
Does dental insurance cover dental fillings?
Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of your dental filling as long as you have not exhausted your benefits for the year.
