About this service
We use exclusively tooth-colored composite resin for fillings, no silver amalgam. Composite bonds chemically to the tooth, requires less drilling, and finishes invisibly. We isolate the tooth with a rubber dam during placement so the bond stays clean, dry, and durable.
Tooth-Colored Fillings is one of the restorative services we provide at our Corona Del Mar dental practice. Patients travel from Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Costa Mesa, Balboa Island, and Irvine because Dr. Younesi takes the time to listen, evaluate, and explain every option before treatment begins. Learn more about Dr. Younesi or contact our office with any questions.
