Extensive tooth decay often requires a dental filling to preserve the natural tooth. Dr. Sean Ky offers mercury-free tooth-colored fillings in Pasadena, California, to provide our patients with the most natural and long-lasting care. Our dentist and team are happy to sit down with you and answer any questions or concerns you may have about the benefits of dental fillings.
A dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage. We may recommend a filling if your tooth has been damaged by tooth decay (for example, if your tooth has a cavity), or if your tooth suffers from minor fracturing or chipping. The dental filling is used to restore the tooth to its original structure and function and to return your smile to good health. There are two main types of dental fillings available: amalgam fillings and composite fillings.
