Tooth-Colored Fillings in West LA

When should you consider a filling?

• ✓ A cavity found during your exam

• ✓ A chipped area that needs repair

• ✓ A worn or leaking existing filling

• ✓ Food catching in a damaged tooth

• ✓ Sensitivity that needs evaluation

• ✓ A small area of tooth damage

An examination is needed to determine which options suit your situation.

My approach to your care

DR. SYRUS’S PERSPECTIVE

I aim to preserve healthy tooth structure and explain what I find before starting treatment. A filling may suit a smaller repair; a larger damaged area may need a different restoration.

What to expect

I assess the tooth and any necessary X-rays, discuss your options, and numb the area when needed. I remove the damaged material, place the restoration, and check its shape and bite.

Cost and treatment planning

Your fee depends on the findings, the procedure, and any additional care needed. I’ll provide a personalized estimate before treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Will I need a filling for sensitivity?

Not always. Sensitivity has several possible causes, so I first evaluate the tooth.

Will the filling match my tooth?

I select an appropriate tooth-colored shade and discuss any appearance concerns.

What if the cavity is large?

I’ll discuss whether a filling, inlay or onlay, crown, or other care is more appropriate.

How do I care for a new filling?

Keep up daily brushing, cleaning between teeth, and recommended dental visits. Contact me if the bite feels high or discomfort persists.
