A cavity does not have to mean a mouthful of metal. Modern composite fillings repair decayed teeth with a tooth-colored material that blends invisibly into your smile — completed in a single visit.
At Paris Dental in Temecula, composite fillings start at $325, and here is the exact six-step process Dr. Azim follows.
Step 1: Exam and Digital X-Rays
We confirm the location and extent of the decay with a visual exam and digital X-rays, which use a fraction of the radiation of traditional films.
Step 2: Comfortable Numbing
The area is gently numbed so you feel nothing during the procedure. Nervous about dental work? Tell us — comfort is a priority here, and our patients mention it in their reviews constantly.
Step 3: Decay Removal
Dr. Azim removes the decayed portion of the tooth, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Composite fillings require less drilling than old amalgam fillings.
Step 4: Layering the Composite
The tooth-colored composite resin is applied in thin layers. Each layer is hardened with a special curing light, building the filling from the inside out for maximum strength.
Step 5: Shaping and Polishing
The filling is sculpted to match your tooth's natural contours, then polished smooth — so it looks and feels like your own enamel.
Step 6: Bite Check
We check your bite and make any fine adjustments. You should be able to chew normally as soon as the numbness wears off.
How Long Do Composite Fillings Last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, composite fillings typically last 7 to 10 years or more.
