Cavities & Fillings

When the dentist tells you that you have a cavity or tooth decay and suggests you need to get a filling, the first thing that pops into your head is probably “Is that really necessary, I don’t want to have a dental procedure.” Tooth decay in Pasadena is a very serious problem that can lead to further oral health issues if not treated. If this is the first time you have ever experienced tooth decay or dental fillings, we can completely understand your hesitation towards the procedure. However, dental fillings in Pasadena are one of the most common, easiest and pain free dental treatments you can get, which is also why they are suggested over other restoration methods such as crowns or implants if the decay is not severe. Thousands of people get dental fillings everyday. Let us help you save your smile. Call us today at (626) 796-0313 to schedule your appointment for dental fillings in Pasadena.

One of the best benefits of getting a dental filling today is the ability to get fillings that match your teeth rather than the traditional metal or amalgam fillings. They are also better for your health. At Walnut Hill Dental Group we offer composite fillings that are made to match the color of your teeth to make them as discrete as possible. Our composite resin fillings are a mixture of different materials, which gives them the ability to match your teeth. We can use different mixtures to change the color of the filling and customize them to your teeth. Another advantage to composite resin fillings is that they require less drilling in order to fill the necessary space when compared to amalgam fillings. They also have the ability to bond to your teeth better, which means your decayed tooth will be reinforced and stronger at its structure. Nevertheless, whichever way you choose to go with your filling, the most important aspect is getting rid of your tooth decay in Pasadena. We know tooth decay can be very painful, especially when you least expect it. If you are having problems with tooth pain and need urgent dentistry, call us at (626) 796-0313 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to schedule your appointment.
