A mercury-free, BPA-free composite material is carefully applied in layers and sculpted to match your natural tooth shape and shade.

Your bite is carefully evaluated to ensure proper alignment, comfort, and long-lasting function.

FAQ

Common questions about biocompatible dental fillings in Thousands Oaks, CA

What are biocompatible dental fillings used for?

Biocompatible dental fillings are used to repair cavities, small cracks, and minor tooth damage using non-toxic, mercury-free, and BPA-free materials. They restore strength and function while supporting overall wellness and preserving natural tooth structure.

Are biocompatible fillings better than silver fillings?

Many patients prefer biocompatible fillings because they are mercury-free and blend naturally with the tooth. Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, these restorations bond directly to the tooth and require less removal of healthy enamel.

How long do biocompatible composite fillings last?

With proper care, biocompatible composite fillings can last 7 to 10 years or longer. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite forces, and regular dental checkups.

Is getting a biocompatible filling painful?

Treatment is typically comfortable. Local anesthesia is used when needed, and modern techniques allow for gentle decay removal and precise placement with minimal discomfort.

Do biocompatible fillings look natural?

Yes. Tooth-colored materials are carefully matched to your natural enamel shade, then shaped and polished for a seamless, natural-looking result.

Can old silver fillings be safely replaced?

In many cases, silver (amalgam) fillings can be replaced with mercury-free biocompatible restorations. Dr. Amy carefully evaluates each tooth to determine whether replacement will improve strength, aesthetics, and long-term oral health.
