Dental Fillings
Tooth colored composite fillings that restore decayed or damaged teeth and blend with your natural smile.
A dental filling restores a tooth that has been damaged by decay, returning it to its normal function and shape.
Dr. Mejia removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the cleaned space with tooth colored composite resin that bonds directly to the remaining tooth structure.
Composite fillings stop decay from progressing, restore chewing function, and blend with your natural tooth so the restoration is virtually invisible.
