Composite Dental Fillings in Fremont, CA

A composite filling, or tooth-colored filling, is a dental-grade material used to restore the shape of decayed or damaged teeth and to strengthen them. It is one of the most commonly used substances for fillings since they look similar to natural teeth and last for over a decade.

Dr. Christopher L. Louie, DDS, and Dr. Victoria Louie at Louie Family Dentistry in Fremont, California, offer composite fillings if a tooth has decay or damage or has suffered chipping or damage.

The process of filling a tooth with composite material is relatively simple. You need to visit the Louie’s for an assessment, post which they will begin the treatment. You will be given a numbing agent to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
