White Fillings - Drill Free, Needle Free!
Southern California Cosmetic Dentistry

If the whine of a drill sets your nerves on edge, you may be an excellent candidate for air abrasion drill-free dentistry.This advanced new technique allows Dr. Ziv to painlessly remove tooth decay, while conserving healthy tooth structure in the process. It's ideal for treating small cavities and when combined with a tooth-colored resin filling, white fillings provide a quick and painless alternative to old-fashioned silver mercury amalgam fillings.

Instead of using a traditional drill, which is noisy and produces vibrations that many people find unnerving, drill-free dentistry uses a compressed stream of air with tiny particles that gently and painlessly remove the decay and allow for smaller, more effective fillings.

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are designed to match the color of your teeth. Developed to restore decayed teeth and repair tooth defects, white fillings provide a healthier treatment option than traditional silver amalgam fillings. Composite white fillings can be used on front or back teeth.

In addition to looking beautiful, white fillings are more resistant to fracture.

Advantage of White Fillings

• White Fillings bond to the tooth, composite white fillings restore most of the original strength of the tooth. Mercury Amalgam weakens the teeth, making them more susceptible to breaking. Restorative Dentistry such as dentals implants can be very expensive to restore, composite white fillings can save a lot of expense over the long run.
• Composite white fillings restore the natural appearance of the tooth.
• Teeth restored with white fillings are less sensitive to hot and cold than teeth restored with mercury amalgam.
• White fillings require a smaller amount removal of tooth structure. Particularly with new cavities, the size of the hole made for the filling can be dramatically smaller with white fillings.
• White Fillings are mercury-free. Mercury used in dental fillings is viewed by some as being potentially toxic.
