Restoring Strength and Health to Your Teeth

Understanding Dental Fillings

When tooth decay creates small openings in the enamel, a dental filling helps restore the tooth’s structure and prevent further damage. At Eddie Kao DDS, we provide durable, natural-looking fillings designed to strengthen your teeth while maintaining a beautiful, seamless appearance.

During treatment, Dr. Kao carefully removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills it with a composite resin that matches your natural tooth color. This simple, effective procedure can typically be completed in one visit, helping you preserve your tooth’s health and function for years to come.

Our Dental Filling Options

We use advanced materials to ensure your restoration blends perfectly with your smile and supports long-term durability:

• Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings – Made from resin that bonds securely to the tooth, providing a natural appearance and reliable protection.
• Porcelain Fillings (Inlays/Onlays) – Custom-made for strength and aesthetics, ideal for larger restorations or areas exposed to high bite pressure.
• Glass Ionomer Fillings – Used in select cases for added fluoride protection, helping prevent future decay, especially in younger patients.

Each option is selected based on your unique needs, ensuring optimal comfort, function, and appearance.

Gentle Care, Lasting Results

What to Expect After Treatment

Following your filling, you may experience mild sensitivity that typically fades within a few days. Our team will provide at-home care tips to keep your restored tooth healthy and comfortable, such as:

• Avoiding extremely hot or cold foods for the first 24 hours.
• Practicing daily brushing and flossing to prevent future decay.
• Scheduling regular checkups for continued maintenance and care.

At Eddie Kao DDS, our goal is to restore your smile with precision and care, giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
