Lost or Loose Fillings
Same week replacement appointments with Dr. Mejia, before bacteria reach the deeper layers of the tooth.
Replacement of a filling that has fallen out, fractured, or become loose.
Dr. Mejia examines the tooth, removes any remaining old filling material and decay, and places a new tooth colored composite filling. If the tooth has significant damage, a crown may be recommended.
A failed filling exposes the underlying tooth to decay, sensitivity, and bacteria. Replacement protects the tooth before the problem grows.
