Cavities are formed when bacteria from food or drink particles build-up on teeth, creating an acid that can break down natural enamel. Porcelain fillings are a quick and easy way to stop cavities from growing large enough to damage the integrity of a tooth’s structure.

Porcelain is an advantageous material for several reasons. First, Porcelain creates extremely natural-looking results because the translucent material appears like natural teeth. The material can be shade-matched to blend in well with your current tooth color. Additionally, it is also extremely stain-resistant, which can help keep your smile it’s brightest.

For the porcelain filling process, you will need to schedule at least two office visits at our Studio City office location. In your first visit, your decayed cavity material will be removed and we will take a mold of your tooth in order for us to create a custom porcelain filling. During your next visit, a new porcelain filling will be secured in place. Unlike metal fillings, porcelain fillings form a strong bond with the enamel and do not weaken teeth.

To care for your new porcelain fillings, remember to brush and floss regularly. It is also very important to stay on schedule with your semi-annual dental visits to ensure optimal health. Porcelain fillings are affordable tooth restorations that can last for many years.
