At Channel Islands Family Dental Office, we offer high-quality dental filling services to restore teeth damaged by decay or injury. Our expert dental team uses advanced materials and techniques to ensure that your fillings are both strong and aesthetically pleasing.
Dental fillings are a common treatment for cavities and can also repair cracked or broken teeth. We provide a range of filling options, including composite resin, amalgam, porcelain, and gold, customized to meet your specific needs.
Composite resin fillings are a popular option due to their tooth-colored appearance, which blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. These fillings are also highly durable and can last for many years with proper maintenance.
Amalgam fillings, often called silver fillings, are composed of a blend of metals such as silver, copper, and mercury. They are highly durable and resistant to chewing and grinding pressures. However, some patients may prefer composite fillings for their more natural look.
Porcelain fillings, also known as inlays or onlays, are custom-made to fit your tooth precisely. They are strong, long-lasting, and can be color-matched to your natural teeth, making them an ideal choice for visible teeth.
Gold fillings are another great option for those seeking a durable and long-lasting solution. Renowned for their biocompatibility, gold fillings are less likely to cause allergic reactions, providing both reliability and safety.
At Channel Islands Family Dental Office, we are committed to helping you select the best dental filling option based on your unique needs and preferences. Our skilled dental team will thoroughly evaluate your teeth to assess the damage and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
The process of getting a dental filling usually begins with numbing the affected area with a local anesthetic. Our dentists will then carefully remove any decayed or damaged tissue and prepare the tooth for the filling. Once the tooth is ready, the filling material is applied and shaped to ensure a perfect fit with your bite.
After the filling is placed, our dentists use special tools to polish it, ensuring a smooth, natural, and comfortable result. With proper care, your dental filling can provide long-lasting protection against further damage.
At Channel Islands Family Dental Office, we pride ourselves on offering top-quality dental filling services. By using the latest techniques and materials, we ensure that your fillings are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Exploring the Safety and Use of Dental Amalgams: In response to concerns about the potential health risks of dental amalgams, particularly due to their mercury content, several studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association have found that dental amalgams are safe. The American Dental Association (ADA) has also affirmed their safety for use. However, the ADA highlights the importance of limiting their use due to the environmental impact of amalgam breakdown.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends reducing the use of dental amalgam when possible. Specifically, they advise against using this type of filling in children under 6 years old, pregnant women, those planning to become pregnant, or individuals with neurological conditions. If an amalgam filling is in good condition, the FDA suggests leaving it in place unless removal is necessary.
Oral Care Based on Material and Routine: Oral care requirements often vary based on the filling material used, but the foundational practices encompass:
