San Leandro dental fillings
fixing cavities without the fear
tooth-colored fillings that blend right in
Unlike older silver fillings, our San Leandro fillings match your child’s tooth color, so you won’t even notice they’re there. They bond directly to the tooth, which means we can preserve more of the healthy tooth structure while still providing lasting protection.
why parents choose composite fillings for their kids
-
No silver metal showing when they smile - Helps prevent future cracks or breaks
- Less drilling required
- Composite materials are tested and long-lasting
what to expect during your child’s filling appointment
exam and gentle numbing
We start with a visual exam and use kid-friendly language to explain each step. If needed, we apply a topical gel before a gentle injection to keep your child comfortable.
removing the decay
Using precise dental tools, we carefully remove only the damaged part of the tooth, leaving the healthy structure untouched.
placing the filling
We apply the composite material in layers, shaping it to match the natural contours of the tooth. A special curing light hardens each layer instantly.
final polish and bite check
We smooth and polish the filling, then check your child’s bite to make sure everything feels just right.
