Strong & Healthy Smiles
Natural-Looking Fillings for Kids
Our natural-looking composite fillings are a safe and effective way to repair your child’s teeth while maintaining their beautiful smile.
Understanding White Composite Fillings
White composite fillings are modern dental restorations designed to mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel. These innovative materials are made from durable plastics and fine glass particles. At Discovery Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics, we use high-quality composite materials that are aesthetically pleasing, strong, and long-lasting.
The Advantages of White Composite Fillings
White composite fillings offer numerous benefits for your child’s dental health and confidence. Here’s why they’re an excellent choice:
- Natural appearance: They blend seamlessly with the tooth color
- Minimally invasive: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure
- Strong bonding: Adheres directly to the tooth, providing additional support
- Insulating properties: Help protect against temperature sensitivity
- Mercury-free: A safe and environmentally friendly option
The White Composite Filling Process
We’ve designed our filling process to be comfortable and stress-free for kids. Here’s what you and your child can expect:
- Preparation: Dr. Fazeli will ensure your child is comfortable and gently remove decay.
- Cleaning: The tooth is thoroughly cleaned to create an optimal bonding surface.
- Application: The composite material is carefully applied in layers.
- Curing: A special light is used to harden each composite layer.
- Shaping: Dr. Fazeli skillfully shapes the filling to match your child’s natural bite.
- Polishing: The filling is polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish.
- Final Check: We ensure the filling is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
When Are White Composite Fillings Recommended?
White composite fillings are an excellent solution for a range of dental issues. Your child might benefit from a filling if:
- They have a cavity in a primary or permanent tooth
- A tooth has minor chips or cracks
- There’s visible wear on the tooth from grinding
- An old filling needs a replacement
Regular dental check-ups with your highly skilled dentist can help identify these issues early, ensuring prompt and effective treatment.
If decay has already reached the nerve, a filling won’t be enough on its own. In that case we’ll talk with you about a baby root canal in Carlsbad, which removes the infected pulp and saves the tooth.

Hear From Our Patients
Dr. Fazeli and her team are amazing. I have 2 high support needs children with autism, making brushing teeth a battle, especially for my oldest (9). The office atmosphere is welcoming and set up for children. Both my children have undergone sedation dentistry in office with great care with numerous followup calls to ensure child was doing well. We have gone in for followup visits which were done in a private room, with every step shown and explained to each child with kindness and in a gentle manner. No unnecessary work, or stress is put onto my children. I am truly impressed and so relieved to have found such an amazing, caring, dependable dental care provider for my children.
My son has had breathing and speech issues. We were doing myofunctional therapy for about a year when we got our expander. He was their youngest patient to receive this appliance and I am so grateful they worked with us! His sleep, face, breathing and speech have all improved! They were so patient with him and made him and myself so comfortable throughout this entire experience. So grateful to have found a team that made me feel validated. Thank you!!!
We’ve been bringing our 13-year-old to Discovery Children’s Dentistry for years, and it’s still the office we trust. From the front desk to the hygienists to Dr. Fazeli, the staff is always on the same page — kind, patient, and actually good with teens, not just little kids. They explain what’s going on, never rush the appointment, and make checkups feel easy instead of something to dread. The office is clean, organized, and kid-friendly without feeling babyish for an older child. After this many years, that consistency means a lot. Highly recommend them to any North County family looking for a pediatric dentist who treats your kid like a person, not just another chair.
My son always has a great visit. Everyone is so professional and friendly.
I had a wonderful experience at Discovery Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics. The dentist was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, and took the time to make sure everything felt comfortable throughout the procedure. The staff were equally warm and cooperative from start to finish. The office itself has such a calming, engaging environment — it really puts you at ease the moment you walk in. Overall, a truly positive experience, and I'd highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a caring dental team.
Before landing at discovery children's dentistry, we tried many other Dentists. Dr. Fazeli Is great with my kids. She's knowledgeable and does a great job with their teeth and most of all I trust her.
We love Dr. Fazeli and her team at Discovery Children's Dentistry! Everyone is so warm and welcoming and my daughter loves the playroom and toy token at the end!
Dr Fazeli and her team are the best there is! Our family has been patients with Discovery Children’s Dentistry for a few years now, and each and every visit has been incredible. Everyone in the office is welcoming and warm, and the level of care we receive there is unmatched. I highly recommend this practice for pediatric dentistry!
My brother has down syndrome and he is incredibly nervous at any doctor appointment. But he connects so beautifully with everyone there from the moment he walks in and we check in at the front desk. Im so grateful for Gaby’s patience and humor through his nerves. It makes all the difference in making his cleaning a fun experience. And Dr. Fazeli is so gracious, sweet and calming. I really feel like its a whole team experience. And my brother leaves happy every time. I couldn't be happier with this office.
Best Dentist and even take Dental - Cal. They are great with my daughter who is autistic and my son that had previous bad experiences with dentists and now feels totally comfortable going 😊
I’ve had such a wonderful experience bringing my children to Discovery Children’s Dentistry. The entire staff is incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, which makes such a difference when bringing kids to the dentist.

I take my kids, ages 5 and 9, to Discovery and have had a great experience both with the cleanings as well as a cavity filling. They make my young kids feel comfortable from start to finish which is not always the case. The dentist is kind and thorough.
Dr. Fazeli and her staff were so great with my son who unfortunately had an appliance placed incorrectly causing him a great deal of discomfort. They fit him in promptly and were so gentle and made the removal so easy! I also really appreciated that she took the time to answer my questions after since our son is a more complicated case than most. The office also had a nice play area and a fun prize at the end which my son loved!
We love this dental office. The staff are all lovely and kind. It’s clean and well managed and our kids are always comfortable and love going.
Highly recommend bring your kids here. The office is so fun for the kids, staff is fantastic. The dentist is extremely kind and warm. My son’s first dentist apt was extremely fun for him and I’m going to be coming back from now on. Best decision I made. I wish I could see her as an adult client haha ❤️ my son wants to come back because of his experience was truly awesome and fun .
