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:

  1. Preparation: Dr. Fazeli will ensure your child is comfortable and gently remove decay.
  2. Cleaning: The tooth is thoroughly cleaned to create an optimal bonding surface.
  3. Application: The composite material is carefully applied in layers.
  4. Curing: A special light is used to harden each composite layer.
  5. Shaping: Dr. Fazeli skillfully shapes the filling to match your child’s natural bite.
  6. Polishing: The filling is polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish.
  7. 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.

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!

Had a great experience at this dentist office. All of the staff were lovely. I’m really glad this will be my girls first memory of the dentist. The hygienists walked both girls through each step before doing it. They allowed me to sit on the chair and hold them for comfort. They were offered headphones to listen to the tv show playing from screens in the ceiling. My older daughter was given a coin at the end of each appointment where she could pick from many varieties of prize machines. My younger daughter was given an age appropriate toy that was safe for her. The waiting area has tablets and some toys and is bright, colorful, and welcoming. My older daughter needed a document signed to start school and that was done easily and quickly. Neither girl had any issues with their teeth while we were patients, but the dentist offered tips to keep it that way depending on each girls’ mouth. Highly recommended and wish we weren’t so far away to continue going.

We live in kauai and I needed a pediatric expert to view an xray for a second opinion (I was willing to fly for treatment if needed and was feeling very concerned about the treatment plan). After 7 calls, no other dentists would even look at the image. Discovery dental was so kind in offering her expert advice on the x-ray. She even looked at the other x-rays and mentioned a cavity to look out for. I was so impressed with her bedside manner, time provided, and guidance. The office comes well recommended by others and they would certainly be my go-to if i was based in Encinitas. I plan to go there on our trips back and forth.
