What Is a Composite Dental Filling?

Composite dental fillings play a crucial role in treating cavities caused by decay, restoring the integrity of damaged teeth, and preventing the progression of oral health issues. These versatile tooth-colored restorations fill the void left by decayed tooth material, providing strength and protection to the affected tooth. When cavities begin to erode your enamel, they can easily spread deeper into the tooth or into neighboring teeth. Our team routinely screens for areas of decay during your dental exam. Fillings are generally a short, conservative procedure requiring only one appointment to complete.

The Benefits of Composite Dental Fillings

Restored Integrity

Fillings treat the cavities caused by decay and restore the integrity of a damaged tooth, which prevents the progression of larger oral health issues later on for you.

Laser Precision

Our Fotona laser removes decay with minimal heat and vibration, and it preserves more of your healthy tooth structure than traditional drilling methods on the tooth.

Natural Materials

We use BPA-free, toxic-free composite materials along with ceramic and porcelain options, all matched to blend in with the natural enamel of your existing teeth.

Early Treatment

Treating a cavity as soon as it is diagnosed prevents the spread of disease and ensures the least invasive treatment possible for the tooth that is being repaired.

Our Step-by-Step Process

Here is what you can expect when you come in for a composite dental filling at Smile Tustin by Dr. Ezzy.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Cavity Screening

    We screen for cavities by visually examining your teeth and taking diagnostic digital X-rays before any treatment is recommended.

  2. 02

    Comfortable Numbing

    If anesthesia is needed for your comfort, we use a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and the tissue immediately around it before the repair begins.

  3. 03

    Decay Removal

    The Fotona laser precisely removes areas of active decay while preserving more healthy tooth structure than a drill would preserve of your tooth.

  4. 04

    Filling Placement

    We condition the underlying layer of the tooth and place the composite filling material, matched to blend in with your own natural enamel for a discreet repair.

  5. 05

    Curing & Check

    A special curing light sets the material in place, and we check your bite before you leave our Tustin office that same day so it feels right from the start.

Signs You May Need a Composite Dental Filling

  • Tooth Sensitivity — One tooth is noticeably more sensitive than the others, or it reacts sharply to hot temperatures and to particularly sweet foods.

  • Sharp Pain — You feel an obvious sharp or painful sensation when you bite down on one particular tooth during an ordinary everyday meal, which often signals decay inside it.

  • Broken Enamel — Larger areas of decay have caused a tooth to break apart with daily use, so avoid chewing on it until we can examine you and repair the tooth before it worsens.

  • Old Fillings — An older filling has developed open margins where bacteria seep in, and you may feel a rough edge along it with your tongue when you run over it.

What Our Patients Say

  • They are extremely tech-advanced and properly staffed. I really wish I had found them sooner. In life, you have to switch to a dentist that can provide you with proper care including having staff properly respond. Shout out to Debbie, she sealed the deal for me not because of sales skills but because of patient education and also having a seven year old CEREC crown herself. Even basic things like X-rays and numbing are done so much better here than at any other office I’ve been to. I already got a same-day CEREC crown here, and they also offer financing options. I do have several cavities and may need more crowns in the future (based on x rays from my previous dentist)—not because they are pushing treatment, but because I’ve had long-standing dental issues from large childhood fillings and nerve involvement. I’ll need to get an x ray here when I’m back and see what options they can provide to me. Maybe there are other ways. I finally found a place I trust with my long-term dental health. It’s been depressing finding one problem after another, but I feel genuinely safe starting treatment here. The staffing is especially important, because for urgent care, education, and follow-up, this is the first office that has truly met those needs.

  • This was definitely one of my most painless filling procedures ever. Dr. Ezzy did two fillings at the same appointment. She was very gentle and administered an appropriate amount of novocaine. Since my appointment was in the middle of the day and earlier appointments may cause delays, I did end up having to wait an extra 30 minutes to get started.

  • I had an onlay made for a tooth that lost a filling. Such a pleasant experience. Perfect shade. No pain, no problems. Conservative treatment. Dr Ezzy is a perfectionist with a caring touch and great "bedside" manners. I had my teeth cleaned the following day and again a thorough job. Dr Ezzy has a great staff, kind, informative and professional. I highly recommend!

  • My first dental session with Dr. Ezzy,, a one hour filling went beautifully. Great care and comfort…

  • I recently was looking for a dentist and went to Dr. Ezzy based on her reviews. A filling had fallen out and I needed a crown. She asked if I had time to do the crown during this first visit (which I did happen to have the day off). I left her office a few hours later with a custom-fitted crown because she has the equipment and technology to make your final crown in her office. I was so impressed! On top of that, Dr. Ezzy called me herself two days later to check in with me to see how my crown was feeling and see if I was having any problems. I am so happy that I found a great new dentist!

  • Dr. Ezzy determined the cause of my sore tooth (a hairline fracture) and extended a filling over that as well as performed a second filling all within record time. She used just the right amount of numbing medication so I did not feel pain, yet was able to speak clearly for the class I needed to teach right after my appointment! Many times I have been so numbed at a dental visit that I could not speak for hours, so I was really impressed. I am so thrilled to be able to eat on the side of my mouth where formerly the fracture prevented me from doing so. Everything was better within hours of my visit! Dr. Ezzy and her staff are extremely kind and professional, and do great work. They will work the best they can around your busy schedule. I highly recommend her.

  • Dr. Ezzy and the entire staff were incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and well taken care of. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt at ease throughout the visit. Dr. Ezzy took the time to listen carefully and explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. The level of care and attention to detail truly stood out. The office was clean, organized, and ran smoothly, making the whole experience even better. I’m very grateful for the excellent service and would highly recommend Dr. Ezzy and the team to anyone looking for quality care.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Composite Dental Fillings

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (714) 730-5600.

How do you find cavities I cannot see?

We screen for cavities by visually examining your teeth and taking diagnostic digital X-rays. Those images let us see inside and between your teeth, where cavities often develop first.

Are all cavities painful?

No, not all cavities are painful or visible to the naked eye. That is exactly why routine screening at your dental exam matters so much.

Will I need to be numbed?

When we use the Fotona laser for cavity preparation, many patients do not need numbing at all. If anesthesia is necessary for your comfort, we use a local anesthetic on the tooth.

How much does a composite dental filling in Tustin, CA, cost?

The cost depends on the size of the restoration and the material you choose. Our team reviews the fee with you before treatment begins.

Does insurance cover composite dental fillings in Tustin, CA?

Most dental plans cover a portion of filling treatment, since it is considered restorative. Our front office will verify your benefits beforehand.
