Composite Fillings in Gardena, CA
What is Composite Fillings

What Is Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair teeth affected by decay, cracks, or fractures. Made from a mixture of fine glass-like particles and a durable resin, composite fillings are carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth for a seamless, aesthetically pleasing result. They bond directly to the tooth structure, providing support and helping to prevent further damage. Composite fillings offer a versatile and durable solution for restoring the health, function, and beauty of your smile.

The Benefits of Composite Fillings

Improved Appearance

It is easy to see why a white filling looks better than a standard silver one, especially at the front of your smile. Composite materials match your enamel, so they blend in seamlessly with your existing tooth structures. You can get white fillings in a variety of colors so that you can enjoy natural-looking results that others won't notice whenever you're smiling.

Minimally-Invasive to Teeth

White fillings are not only attractive, but they also offer the benefits of being minimally invasive to your teeth. They bind to your enamel and preserve healthy tooth structure by minimizing how much of it is altered during the procedure. Only the affected area of decay needs to be removed.

Better Versatility

The nature of composite fillings allows us to place them on any tooth throughout the mouth, including front teeth, along the gumlines, and on smooth tooth surfaces. Composite materials are also used for cosmetic bonding if you have a slightly chipped or misshaped tooth. In the 24 to 64 age group, dental cavities affect 91% of adults.

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I came here because my 9 years old had been to atleast 3 other dentists and they were not even able to get x-rays on her because she had such a dental phobia. I was recommended to come here because the staff was nice and the children's dentist was patient. Thank God I tried it out because my daughter Finally got much needed treatment. Everyone in the office was warm and welcoming and made her feel safe enough to proceed. With such wonderful care she received, me and my oldest daughter also quickly became patients here and I cant emphasize enough how welcoming everyone is, it feels like home when we come in to get work done. Between the 3 we've had cleanings, extractions, fillings and the work has been well done and very professional. Its hard to find a good dentist, im glad we found ours!” — Leticia

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “Had a cleaning done by Nathan the hygienist and received the absolute best care in all my years going to dental offices! He’s very respectful and was extremely attentive to any discomfort during the cleaning process, creating a very relaxed and positive dental experience. Edit: Want to mention, I had a very minor chip in my front tooth due to previous fillings I had done 7 years ago, so it was general wear and tear. Anyways Nathan the Dentist took care of that for me and filled in my tooth. Not only did he fill in my tooth, but he enhanced the color as well, giving me an extra bright smile and I feel like a new man! Thanks Nathan you did an incredible job!” — Nick
  • 5 out of 5 stars. “This is my initial review for gardena dental. It is clean and has hand sanitizer available to use.. the dental hygienist is really nice and explains what she is going to do. The Dr himself explains all the x-rays that are being taken. Once my deep clean is done will do another review, ** unfortuantly, the office does not allow recording of my visit without permission from the owner? which prevents a show of what I want to demonstrate. Which I wanted to go pro it.. lol. The lady did question my intention and what I was doing and why. Just to sum it up, if you want to record, they don't like it. Things that are nice so far: Inside the office are big screen tvs to show your dental records and xrays. They take color photos of your bad things and explain what is what and what they are going to do. The dental hygienist are very nice, she ask if you are in pain frequently to make sure this go smoothly. If you are, which I was, they escalate the pain medication accordenly. So far I'm pretty happy about the visit, I have to come back to get my remaining fillings done with the dds. Great service so far A+” — Michel

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I really love this office. It was my child’s first time here. He has ASD. I was already nervous because it’s always a struggle. Unfortunately he had a cavity, but Rachel and Tatiana are amazing. They made sure my child was taken care of and they even played his favorite song. My baby sang karaoke with them while they worked on him. Amazing people and so patient and understanding. A very welcoming environment.” — Yesenia

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “Tatiana is LITERALLY the best. Any questions or concerns she always takes care of me. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect before I leave the chair. I had such a great experience at my braces appointment today, thanks to Tatiana! She was super helpful and patient while I picked out a new color. She gave me fun suggestions, explained how they’d look, and made the whole process quick and easy. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail really made me feel comfortable and taken care of. I’m loving my new color thank you for making it such a fun part of my day!” — Breanna
  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I cannot recommend Dr. Sanaz Yousefi and the entire team at Gardena Dental Group highly enough! After an accident left me with chipped teeth, I was anxious about the outcome, but Dr. Yousefi worked her magic to not only match the color perfectly but also restore them so beautifully that no one can tell they were ever damaged. The result was truly amazing! Additionally, their responsiveness in an emergency was exceptional. Despite the urgency of my situation, they scheduled me on the same day, which was a huge relief. The entire process was smooth, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and kind throughout. Thank you, Dr. Yousefi and Gardena Dental Group, for your excellent care and kindness. It's clear you all genuinely care about your patients, and it shows in every interaction. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch dental care!” — Hooman
  • 5 out of 5 stars. “My first visit to Gardena Dental Group was most pleasant. I was fearful because I am not a fan of needles, drills or that burning smell that lingers after root canals and crowns. In spite of this, I was assured by a wise woman who had been a patient for several years - along with her husband -, that this would be, "The BEST Decision I Would Make Today." Thankfully, she was right 💐 Upon arrival, I was assisted by Jessica who aided me through the paperwork as well as my treatment plan and next appointment. Soon after completing the paperwork, I was called in for my x-rays and consultation. I was elated to hear that I only needed a permanent crown (to replace the temporary one I had from a previous dental procedure) and a filling on the opposite side. Tatiana and Dr. Tounian were Knowledgeable and Compassionate throughout my consultation; this made it easy to ask questions about the treatment plan and how to continue keeping my smile healthy and bright 😁 My second visit was even better than the first. I was taken through the procedures I was to have, asked if I had any questions or concerns, then the assistant made preparations for the Doctor to work his magic 🪄 I was elated by the timely manner, professionalism and care taken by the entire Dental Team (knowing how nervous I was about the needle - for numbing the area - and the drill for the crown & filling). I fell asleep a few times during the process, that's how comfortable I was 😊 I look forward to returning to get fitted for my permanent crown and later my mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding. I Love My New Dentist and His Extraordinary Team ✨” — ALIKANDRIA
  • 5 out of 5 stars. “Had such an amazing dental filling with Dr. Nathan and his assistant Nathan. They were thoughtful and so kind. Highly recommend!” — Debbie
  • 5 out of 5 stars. “Came in with my 2 year old son on pediatric day to this dental office and I am completely satisfied. My son is a toddler that I struggle to brush his teeth doesn’t like going to no dentist or doctor and is always completely terrified of them. I came to this office and my son needed some fillings that were tricky but they had all the patients for him. Tatiana and Rachel were incredible gentle and patient with him. When I left him in the room with them he was crying don’t get me wrong had me terrified that he was crying because he’s not used to being without his mommy. I went to the lobby to wait for him and I was getting my self mentally prepared to hear him cry but grew concerned because I couldn’t hear him at all 5 minutes had past and still nothing, then I asked one of the front office assistants what’s going on with him I can’t hear him. They let me go inside to check him out he was so calm Tatiana was rubbing his forehead in such a soft and gentle way that my baby was not crying and was falling asleep I had never seen him so calm while being at a dental visit. They are completely incredible with kids I will 100% be coming back here for all my sons treatment and will be recommending all my friends and family about them.” — Jezel
  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I had a wonderful experience at Gardena Dental Group with Dr. Nathan. I came in with a lot of pain, but Dr. Nathan was incredibly gentle and patient. He did a filling for me, and to my surprise, the entire procedure was completely pain-free. I truly appreciated how he took his time to make sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. It’s not easy to find a dentist who combines skill with such a calming presence. Thank you, Dr. Nathan and the whole team at Gardena Dental Group—you’ve definitely earned a loyal patient!” — Maryam

How long do composite fillings last?

With good care and maintenance, a white dental filling can last for several years (up to 10-15 years in some cases.) It's important to brush and floss around these teeth daily to prevent recurrent decay from developing around the edges of your restoration.

What are composite fillings made out of?

White fillings are an excellent alternative to silver (or amalgam) restorations. They are made of tiny glass or polymer particles, which bond better to your enamel than amalgam fillings. If you have an older filling or a cavity that needs to be filled, composite fillings can offer many advantages over amalgam restorations.

How Much Does a Composite Filling Cost?

The price of composite dental fillings used to be higher than traditional silver restorations, but that's not always the case anymore. That being said, certain factors can impact the total price of your white filling, such as the size of the cavity, the number of tooth surfaces involved, and whether you're using dental insurance to pay for a portion of your treatment. Insurance carriers vary from one policy to the next, so our treatment coordinators will verify your benefits before providing you with an itemized treatment plan. Repairing a cavity with a white filling is much more affordable than waiting until you need a crown or root canal. If you have concerns about the price of dental fillings in Gardena, be sure to ask about our affordable payment options. How to Care for White Fillings Even though fillings can't get new cavities, the surrounding tooth can still be susceptible to decay. To prevent your filling from failing or tooth decay from recurring, it is important to floss and brush your teeth every day. Flossing won't pull out your white filling, but if you don't floss, you will put it at risk of failing. Also, be sure to plan a checkup at checkup Gardena Dental Group every six months to have your teeth and dental work evaluated.
